Poet's Hurdle

Stare vacantly at nowhere
Almost beyond recall
Chase the string of flea in ear
With hopes and iron will

Almost beyond recall
Words seem exhausting
With hopes and iron will
Let the journey keep going

Words seem exhausting
Unravel its quandary
Let the journey keep going
Face the uncertainty

Unravel its quandary
Chase the string of flea in ear
Face the uncertainty
Stare vacantly at nowhere
