cautious work does not enable extreme learning
and fractured bones are caused by lack of use
creating code makes a monotonous ticking sound
and survival is best tested through daily assessment
recognition of your own reward criteria triggers DNA modification
and ice packs barely sedate tired hurting eyelids
rhythmic hours that clock a parallel streaming into earbuds
and an appetite that is invested in just enough to serve as an insurance plan
mental muscles pull another wincing day through
and pause into the night, feed afresh into a vial of life each morn
work is just perception ; the rest is extraordinary resilience
and only the fatigue of will can be an obstruction to cope
interpretations abound; about work and life balance
and yet matters only when the kernel of dreams starts to crumble
invictus stays unafraid; deserving himself to the wind
and so you too may conquer the sky with your sore but sure footprints
climb with the wind in your face; content in perseverance
and let the waves of your hair, the dance of your arms
be unto itself a cocktail that bubbles an aphrodisiac
as you walk through the night into the horizon
