Balancing Act

Knapsack

They are careful what they wish for

They are constants here, I guess

They are happy doing nothing

I am happy doing less



There are patterns in your motion

There are things you can escape

There is beauty in this tension

There are ways to navigate

They all marvel at invention

They have dreams that will deflate



They can ask all their intentions

They can wait to be destroyed

They have things they cannot mention

They have subjects they avoid



You have only this chance

They are giving more

They have expectations

They are underscored

You have only this chance

You have asked for more

They have expectations

They have shut the door
