Fight or flight

Inside the labirynth
So many yards ahead
You'll see a crystal ball
On a lavender bed.

On life by prescription,
A territory mapped out,
Too much haze and friction,
Too much knowledge and doubt.

Outside the labirynth
The uncooperative step,
The absence of a basic flavour,
A time for deeds inept.

The outskirts and high manours,
The past semi- utilized,
The meaning of soft manners
Is to get them tranquilized.
