There is an order
to everything and everyone:
from the potholed roads
to the sprawling highways,
from the hegemony of the rich
to the meekness of the poor.
An army of fools
chasing silhouettes;
A clowder of cats
intrepid and gamely,
it was meant to be this way.
Each one of us
is an indispensable thespian
in this grand conjuration
of beauty and filth,
a drama directed by the anonymous
and omnipresent.
Solve the puzzle and rest eternally
if you can,
I choose to live this dream over and over
and over again
