Solvitur Ambulando

Tate Hendrix

Problems and fears, puzzles and paradoxes/ 

Companionship treasured, atop matching soapboxes/ 

Stubborn independence, concerted self-reliance/ 

Gentle sense of peace found in bitter entropic defiance/ 

Vinyl siding flakes off Hoge/ 

A doe limps on shattered leg/ 

Continuing on with or without talking/ 

Rhythmic pace broken only by jaywalking/ 

Liminal connection, bound in transience/ 

Two fleeting souls lain bare en route to CVS/ 

A bike sits and rusts out from under its chain/ 

The trees dance in the wind as though writhing in pain/ 

Nonsensical postulates ceaselessly entertained/ 

Great distances covered with no progress gained/ 

Hard lines made blurry, clashing dogmata interlocking/ 

The great and impossible is solved by walking.
