i freely assumed
the debt of [inter]dependency
and have found myself unshackled.

when i stopped rerouting earth webs
i found that rivers flow when and where the ought
and thirst is satisfied.

when i stopped damming heart channels
i found that lovers meet when and where they ought
and hunger abates.

when i stopped manipulating my story
i found that revolutions happen when and where they ought
and balance returns.
