Pattern Recognition

A pattern that is endlessly repeating and

non-terminating

will perpetuate itself

both day and night,

week to week,

month to month,

year to year,

season to season.

Other patterns

repeat themselves

by virtue of character

flaws that are too

glaring to confront.

Attempts to do so

are often half-hearted

and destined for failure.

The natural rhythms

run endlessly without

undue influence,

the patterns of self-sabotage

continue on a jerking

crag of start

stop until some thing

has to give.
