Restart With Knowledge
He wishes for self-sabotage
A do-over, a new beginning before
the sudden end.
He wishes to start again
from white chalk line and ready up
like an unsure runner
Now that we have followed rainbows
and found our pot of gold,
He wants to turn back
go over mountain through freezing tunnels
across desert and wide ocean
Sail the hellish waves beneath an unseen sun
back to darkness where we began
and make the trek as if blindfolded
But he is not blindfolded and knows the way
following the rocky paths with subtle peaks
Here, then there
as if struggle were a game
and the privilege of success, a ride
to be relived
re-accomplished and experienced like a TV show
One watches years later as if it is still new.
