The Loop

Entering the loop

As we enter the loop

Can it be worse?

Only fiction? Or is it fact?

That we think of loops as going backwards

A descent back to where we started

A loop back

Back to a time before,

Back in time,

Back for another chance.

But the loops turn forward,

Wheels of time, circles of progress.

The further forward, the further back

Repeating

Repeating the past, repeating mistakes.

It’s all seen, done, and thought

We try to escape,

we try.

Can it be done? 

Can it be worse?

As we enter the loop
