Pushing aside all excuses
Every judgement on the floor
What direction would you turn
To choose and call your door?
After charting all consideration
And mapping out mountains of thought
Recalling past paths of experience
What choice is above things taught?
rising above all reason
your mind can construct all things anew
choosing
to actually choose
the road that bends
is you
