this break is too short,
and this block too long -
I will not return on time,
I may simply
not return at all...
I have applied this label to myself -
I - have named this beast
I - have feared this day
and now that I am here, I do not understand
the path by which I have arrived
to stand on this sacred ground...
I am relieved to see that you are here.
I am relieved to know that you
have waited here for me.
Though there is little consolation
to be found inside this exhibit...
we are standing here, for everyone to see...
and they may theorize,
and they may formulate their outcomes...
and I will defy,
by every piece that I adjust,
by every move I make...
and I will disavow all proof
that I have ever played this game. |
