Twist In the Tale

the universe presents before us
a live portrait of what we had desired
offering it to us for our consumption 
but now no such craving exists
so we yawn and move on
sprinkling rose petals of love
onto all the actors who’re on stage

First we manifest a desire but then having outgrown it, do not wish to linger in those mundane environs
