remurphy

the sun
having no choice
moved across the sky

[beckett... first line of murphy, i think]
...
so perhaps one could riposte
the sun
overwhelmed by choice
once more elected to take the same route across the sky
...
but
ahhh
seeing the sun doesn't actually move
perhaps that should be
the earth
overwhelmed by choice
once more elected to take the same route across the
...
...
no
no
...
so here we go
i know
the earth
powerless yet again
decided to let the sun move whatever way it liked across the sky
secretly
the earth wished the sun would
do something different for a change
but that's the problem with dominant powers
they get set into a certain way of doing things and
then stick with them forever
and ever
