To Be in Control


To be in control
or to be adaptable.
Which is stronger?

To have power
or to be penniless.
Which is more dangerous?

To exert one's own will
or to follow the clearest path.
Which is the richer life?

Beware of the Blob

It pools and drools
Beneath your feet
Too cool to greet you
On the way out
Of existential doubt.

Its choice is moist,
Needling and wheedling
At the eyes, disguised
To make you sorry
For its hoary demise.

Spineless as brines,
It whines to be petted,
Fetid as a swine
Whose spine fretted
And regretted design.

Control cannot console
This droll spool of coal
That ignites depression,
Calls into question,
And spites the soul.
