tale of tails

the strive started
with the apple bite
light pursuing dark
day on night's tail
with cosmic precision
peace chasing chaos

your place or mine?
and the morn after
pavlovian urges
seek more snake tails

a fraudster wins
wreaks havoc
million deaths later
a new covenant wins
misery remains unbowed

samaritans pop up
like trailblazers
and fade
happiness and misery
tailgate in this
eternal tale
