Impasse

The restless lizard climbing on the wall Can hardly fathom where the end may lie To his audacious quest, and this is why He does not know that, in the end, he’ll fall. Again he tries but then again he slides And into cold obscurity he’s thrown. Without advice, he cannot grasp alone What laws the unavoidable betides. If only he were told that he should not Defy his earthly bounds and pose as bird, He would look neither joyless nor absurd, And could escape the impasse where he’s caught.
