A Drama of Choice and Chance

Random chance
translates uncontrollable events
choice illusory
when shaped by technology
goals predetermined,
limits defined:
choice - confined to a universe
within that, another,
and yet, smaller,
unfathomable
almost choice.

Within choice and chance
humans create balance
a path despite/because of 
random universe.

Two create an edge, spark life
into a solitary quest
seeking transformation, survival
ancient purpose, newer tools.

Flash and fanfare
herald human accomplishment
almost as though
the tools, too,
were alive.

Enigma
elixir
