Mainspring

He took chances where there were none and created options when 

recourse  called for momentum. Not by choice but by the necessity 

of dreams and dislike for being left out of control. In the end he

surrendered to inevitable standstill.

                   pendulums swung fast

                   fulcrum suspended in time -

                                                            warped clock for repair
