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.
