X3N0

Make each action a paramount;
an endless flight of stairs
with steps leading to nowhere.
Both ends are a perpetual memory, solid;
preventing you from falling through
to the thought of what next to do.

Make it count.

Don't lean back or give yourself slack;
be willful to the fingertip,
push and pull untill you might rip.
This lifetime tension will be a lifetime pension
free of greed
where you see
you carve every step
and the precede.
