Red tape
Don’t know what I’m doing anymore
Used to know my place
Used to know where I was going
The rules changed bureaucratically
Decisions made capriciously
The county fair comes to town
New entertainers run the show
The sideshow becomes the main event
Performing miracles with red tape
Shooting with bound hands
The carnie laughs at my efforts
Logistics imitate logic
Throw the dart and decide
Impossible to see the prize
The fixed target ever moving
Ring master with no direction
A three ring kaleidoscope
Falling from the trapeze
Promised net imagination thin
Promises fail to break my fall
I fall broken
