The chains

intersect everywhere,
bouncing off each other
at oblique angles,
changing the direction
of other chain conga lines,
causing collisions
that give birth to
multitudes of other
chains, all sweeping
forward
through spacetime
with blind, omnipotent
power,
passing through
unwitting recipients
who juggle them
artlessly and then
kick them forward
with unthinking
casualness,
blindly creating
the future.
