the top to bottom

awareness allows for few mistakes
a simple thought
funny how folks tend to move, shake,
drawn by bad decisions. imperceptible
lines of energy lock and drag them, like
a magnet.

no words, no advice, no diagram,
no role playing, no flags, no code
can ever redirect their path

i suppose

the grit underneath our skin, in our
bones, that will get us by.

but getting by does not mean
success or even happiness.

getting by suggests survival
suggests the bare minimum
suggests life support
suggests basic

at some point the grit moves us
to elevate, to work, to envision,
to believe (again), to refine, to engage,
to fire, to shape, to produce.
