efforts
raze some wasted
some rewarded
some now with children of their own
toddlers
swinging their arms like tiny strongmen
eyes wide with wonder
no idea what they'll grow up to be
reasonable efforts, hopefully
like their parents were
but stronger
wiser
having learned from the mistakes
of those that came before

...
unhinged for all the efforts of the parents
children make the same mistakes
humans stuck in the same cycle
for millenia

it's what we do


we put all our effort into
making it worse
whether we realize it or not
blind
deaf
dumb
stumbling
selfish
self_absorbed
scrambling to get to the top of the ladder
that leads to nowhere

next day, i'm really sore.

but i ride again. my muscles remember.
