Foxtrot 'till you bore
Morality is a solemn dance
that we desperately try and find
a partner for.
It is the mugger in the shadows
as we do our best to walk
peacefully past.
Its jaws wait for ambush
as our feet narrowly escape it
again and again,
whilst it memorises our patterns
knowing all too well,
that we eventually become slower.
We will all be soaked up
in the bile of its stomach,
all we can do is hope that we are caught
off guard
as supposed to spending our lives
waiting for it.

"knowing all too well,
that we eventually become slower."
and excellent point of an end.
well said.

> and possibly a move in a new direction (in terms of the less reflective style?)
really liked this one - especially that you paint the scope of your message perfectly in that first sentence.
Good work,
Steven

'again and again,
whilst it memorises our patterns' Beautifully solemn, like body and mind closing up on itself.

...'supposed' or 'as opposed' my dear JT...? Or might one simply say "rather than"

An interesting take on the idea. Quick nitpick, your line "Its jaws wait for ambush" has a grammatically painful apostrophe.
