link in the chain of jealousy,  
i envy you, you envy them, they envy me.  
fetters, bind us together. i will make it,  
you dragged along behind me,  
the one in front is ready to hinder,  
trip me up, in this way  
there is nowhere to go, together  
a damp, moist cave can be comfortable,  
warm. take a rock and crack yourself  
free. now shoot through the keyholes,  
keyhole after keyhole after keyhole--  
one shot, don't miss!  
finding oneself in hope,  
less darkness, now vadose passages  
till the creek is reached, what  
caused those unexplained floods.  
  
at times the only way forward is  
formed through fault lines, rifts.  
each one you take carries  
an existential risk.  
the hole i once fell through  
still exists.  
somebody should really fix it up,  
i could not stand another who missed.
