Aha
didn't we know from the 'get go'
that we didn't know nothing?

And searching for a meaning when 
it's seemingly impossible 
is not a task taken lightly.

living free is simply 
implausible 
another impossible structure 
to build?

Once
when I could have killed for a cider 
I'm glad that I sat down beside her,
the spider showed me 
as indeed it showed Bruce
the truth.

Persevering to preserve and hold on 
to those things that we long for
is not wrong 
it's just human 
and I can
understand that now.
