Made without meaning
What other sensation is there
To give proper feedback
To the existential chain?

Resistance
Bracing against the inevitable gear of change
Sparks fly like whispers of some greater fire
The grinding of the way so arduous at times

Under reasonable duress
The nervous system succumbs
Habituates
Gravitates toward a pole

Undulating electrically
Little forms newly risen shudder and shake
Alight in the afterglow of creation
Until they are clothed in the mercy of life
Living as if all this were preordained to be
Exactly so, exactly this
