ling shu, "spiritual pivot"

in every moment
there is a core
and the spinning crust
and a centrifugal force
that pushes me out.

control depends on
where i place myself
and where i place myself
depends on control.

if you want to be the axle
not the spoke,
if you want to be the axle
not the spoke,
then it is up to you, my friend.

myself, i am made of turbid stuff
and on the spinning part
i must wait and clarify.
separate and clarify.

so tossed i'll be
until i die.
