Reduction
by [REDACTED]
I want to boil it down
Get to the heart of the matter
Distill the flavors
and
Accept the essence of what is
Only all that's there is
Fear and doubt of
Growth and spread
What if this is all there is
Until all there is
Is gone?
Wings clipped
Horizons narrowed
Marrow poisoned
One foot in front of the other
One foot from the grave?
Heads you win
Tails I lose
Too many metaphors because
Avoidance is key
How else to get things done?
