How I play?  and get played, 

By reticent energies thick as tar,

Dark viscosity smears clairvoyance,

Obscure, heavy & opaque as they flow, 

Slithering through the twisted spine, 

Like visceral vines of the dimensions,

She sits there laughing and dancing,

with her supposedly dominant glow,

Unaware shamelessly of her darkness,

and the sifting sands of her existence, 

Parables and eternal paradoxes summons,

The vicious multitude of rhetorical blows,

As I struggle to move, 

stuck in the maze of dense tar,

Pulling myself out with all my 

might and strength,

Everytime aiming to cut through 

the stifling blur,

Fighting the dark viscosity,  

I continue to flow…,

I will always continue to flow.
