I saw the flaw

one erodes like a riverbank
but is not always resilted so

gratitude is an attitude
the urge is rage

she betrayed you
he failed you

the satisfaction of anger
doesn't resolve

focus lingers into obsession

how do you let someone know
there is an insufficiency?

power is a zero-sum game
limited by opportunities for control

how many variables are required
to establish uniqueness?

repulse the compulsion
to differentiate on trivia

to privilege the already-known
with a credibility head-start

heresy isn't always truth
but neither is doctrine

the price of dialogue is engagement
participation trades authority for influence

speculation without confirmation
is what leads to madness

facts, no matter how unexpected,
can be assimilated

expectations, no matter how true,
are flawed
