pinging around like a pinball
in a machine
not of my directing
though of my making
too many conflicting bumpers
accelerating me this way and that
my hands tense on the flippers
but rarely do I get the chance to use them
and sometimes when I try I miss
and the ball goes down the hole
out of the conscious world
then a second later something - me?
pings it back into the game
and it all starts again.
