there is tedium
infested in routine—
    try to dress it up
    with a different name,
    but even rituals
    feel like chores
    under the yolk
    of habit.

from practice
    to propensity
    to addiction
    to compulsion

dull obsessions
    one stroke at a time
    may never deliver us
    from the structure of
    product or process.

another still night
    with this soporific sacrament.

a ceremony for one
    a catalogue of words
    gaining weight
    with each attempt.
