Read me infinite.
Destination anywhere,
anytime or place;
marked by mere inclination –
a passage procured by fate.

Lead toward it’s bound,
leather skinned immortal soul;
consumed by its force
I give myself willingly,
succumbing to mystery.

where would we be? let’s just say the mental institutions would be at max capacity and on every damn corner. lol
