Choreographed

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Dec 30, 2020

Choreographed.
Designed.
System
in place.
Rules
to follow.
Accepting
the stage.
Parts to
be played.
Parameters,
lanes to
be observed,
traversed.
Designated.
Substrate,
maze
engineered.
Apparitions
injected,
game
begins.
Outcomes
limited
yet infinite.
All seems
normal.
Anything
but.
Define
normal.
Normal
here.
Normal
now.
Normal
then.
What else
is known?
How else
to believe?
Choices
what choices?
Choreographed.
Playing
the part,
enacting
the role.
Living
on a
pebble,
stage
in a
limitless
void.
Caught up
in the
play.
Accepting
the role.
Questioning
naught.
Dancers
on the
stage,
following
design.
Spinning
to the tune.
Choreographed!
