A focus on new avenues of realization.
They deal out four strange coins.
Doubled up, two for each.
The guide book is outdated,
turning inward:

A voice behind the curtain,
Moving, directing the limbs.
Attempts at carving new pathways.
The words fail, sticky, garbled text.
She picks up only fragments,
Spinning shards into heavy fabricated delusions.

Even though I have strong legs there is still something fundamentally stupid about the inner sides of my knees.

These outward cares seemed to cut all the way through.
