Unchallenged

I find my way through mazes

You could say I’m amazing at mazes

Mazes with tricky turns and illusions

Ones that attempt to overwhelm you with confusion

Mazes with rules that I break

Like the ones lined with hedges where I just push through and cut across

Ancient ones with poison darts triggered by a foot on a stone

Darts that put you in a daze

I navigate these unfazed

I just stumble along and find my way

Sometimes I run with purpose

Sometimes I pretend to be lost just to prolong the challenge.

Sometimes I take all day

Dead-ends are good places to take a nap

When I wake I just yawn and move on

Its just another problem to solve

Another game in which I refuse to be the pawn

Mazes are a series of choices with a purpose

Simple and pure

A means to an end with degrees of difficulty

But finite nonetheless

I ponder the infinite and surreal

I study the impossible and bizarre

I am fascinated by the intangible

To me, the real and mundane is no big deal
