It caught us by surprise, really.
Reeled us in and even though
you swore otherwise,
you ran right to it,
tearing your blindfold off
in the process.
A fool, you called yourself,
for letting your ego take hold
and choke your logic.

I waited in the wings,
patiently, or forgetting
for numerous years.
And now,
after a late night of marveling
and discovering,
I find myself unable to fathom
the complexity
of the situation.
But I digress.
