Step Away From Stance

There is no niche, there is no goal
No banners dancing on their poles
There is no test, no finish line
No gasp of delight, or first prize
No schedule kept, there is no clock
No penalties, for rhythm dropped
There is no order to be kept
No lectures for efforts inept
There are no manifests that bind
Indifference yawns at custom's grind
What can go in, may not go out
And what is straight may circle bout
When what is dropped, may not touch down
And trees may fall without a sound
For when the unexpected rules
We freeze or panic as we're schooled
And  as we gape baffled like apes
At opened cages, without escape
When given opportunieties
To do it different, and be free
How often does one take that chance
To step away...away from stance
