equanimity

habits of creatures

rooted in routes 

routinely trodden

by mortal feet planted

by fears of uprooting

lest any one moment dare

declare its independence

from all others.

Stamp, Stomp, Stump!

the impertinence of impermanence!

whence this odious misery

oozes, what unwell-spring?

expressing repressions,

depressing impressions,

seeping animus
from heavy condition.
