like our repeatedly aborted
ascent out of chaos
short-lived leap-frog progress
such as we have made
all under the watchful
collaborative eyes of the dead
who see so clearly
the divine steeplechase
we’re up against lest we forget
we actually only came to earth
for a kind of summery holiday
from hell for a couple of weeks
but like so many weary travelers
got caught up here and stayed
