How do you know you're going on when you're unsure of where you started or want to go? |
Everything starts at 1 except zero, holding a place or taking up space. Wanted, to be unwanted. Included to be excluded. And everyone wants at best a chance...to know they have a chance, because the goal is improvement, right? To end up with more than they had before? Sure, so I've heard. It's the refrain in all the songs; the keys in all the codes. When do I get a turn? I just want to be a number greater than 1, but what lottery did I win? What lottery am I in? And why doesn't it feel lucky? A fraction of sense that doesn't make sense serves no instinctive purpose other than to confuse on purpose; merit has worth only when assigned a value... unlike when someone gives you something based on merit but in a way that works like credit that you know you're gonna have to pay back plus interest (and doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting ahead, ya know). I have questions. Ok, I'll go first... how do I know this is where I'm supposed to be, and this is what I signed up for? 40 lines; "I Have Questions." from "World By Design" |
