What Is the Shape of Risk

Is it oval where
your aspirations and hopes scale
unscaleable walls,
seeking to meet in the middle?

Maybe--

a rectangle would
be optimal? Shorter
walls to climb, but if
successful, the realization
would appear to be
longer lasting, as the top and bottom of
the rectangle is much longer.

Maybe?

This is a clever bit of irrelevance - I like irrelevance. Don't know that you meant it that way, may just be me. Fix 'you' to 'your.' I am a helper of irrelevance! CayCay
