hands dealt seem irrelevant like petulant

malcontents bent on a path that laughs

at what factors in how we begin the underpinnings

some claim "winning" yet at the beginning

slim pickings stick to ribs as we consider

how this came about - the route less traveled

seems fabricated upon the basis we embrace

shades of gray to our dismay - come what may

we feign ignorance yet blissful misuse of

misspent intentions are mentioned casually

in the overall tabulature that's up for grabs
