About Roundabout: The piece that got me kicked out of the Nihilist Club

A preconception.

A faith.

Context for your evolution.

Ideal, at top:

a ladder to climb.

Aimful progression.

Is there any other kind?



At center:

the omnipole

from which

tetherballs

understand

they're tetherballs

and curl tightly

to approach

Form-giver.



Value-driven into corners.

Happy

having a song

to finish singing;

ears ringing

with the sound of progress.



Moralists footrace

this circular track

that,

wide enough

in circumference,

the road

appears straight

at ground level.



Moot, though,

in the end,

such observations -

everyone

partakes in the race

all the same.

It's just

us nihilists

circle in planes.
