Catch-22

catch-22.... 
contradictory rules may apply 
within a series of seemly arbitrary regulations 
catch-22....
absurd constraints will exist 
within this paradoxical situation 
catch-22....
a hidden clause does exist 
within the very foundation 
upon which we stood 
catch-22....
used to be able to find 
the existing loopholes 
that once were thought 
to exist within the levels 
of our existence 
catch-22....
now it seems as though
the exceptions to the rules 
are all but none existent now
within this new realm of reality
that we find ourselves living in
catch-22....
