Life Changes As a Detached Observation

Decisions and opportunities
a view of life in flux
but too pragmatic, too understated
not quite capturing the
subtlety and ignobility
of created existence
for in the indecision
one faces the kind of fleeting
knowledge that can only be
described as a lack
and in the opportunity
the appearance of control
has naught but disaster for
a consequence
rather convert the way of
kings, viewing life as a
stillframe, to a modestly
measured pace colored by
moments of vain creativity
