the game nowhere
paper, scissors, rock; humus, scythe, stone -
a game of chance in the back country.
take one step the next, another –
then leave or don’t leave your mark – if you can.
however invisible or inevitable, you take
your chances, where pristine's a state of mind.
in a million years, how many footprints
human, animal, mythical came before?
paper, scissors, rock; humus, scythe, stone -
your foot makes the next guess.
