The Same

It updates continually,
If somewhat jerkily. That’s why

It reminds you of journeying,
Until you recall journeying

Is a literal part of it,
This scale-invariant fractal

That contains your experience.
You keep searching for perspective,

But the basic shape stays the same
At all scales. You divide yourself.

One part of you tries to be still,
As still as possible, at least,

To figure out exactly what
Is changing while staying the same.

The other part of you sets off
On the sequel to Down by Law,

Taking any path through the swamp,
Never mind what state you end in.
