Ivy League

Fingertips etched and wrapped,
white knuckled, yet steadfast -
the journey never finished because
  ...there is no destination 
except the next brick or perhaps
              EGO?
What then, when there are no more 
            "electives"?

"Alexander wept, because there were
no more worlds to conquer".

So thus, the tendrils, naked and burdened,
        circle back,
their vines and blossoms celebrated,
while the sacrificed - those who cling and die
           go unnoticed...
