Vignette 4.
I don’t like labels.
It’s enough to deal with these blocks
without learned references to you-know-who.
Everyone asks the same question:
What monstrous crime did you commit to deserve such a fate?
Nothing!
The balance of power had to be restored.
Excess of bad karma from S.
And it was my fate
to be the one who had to placate
some gods.
for what?
“Self -aggrandizing craftiness”
Unlike the other dude,
I killed no travelers or guests. Therefore, I did not displease Zeus.
Ordinary greed was all.
Since there were no offenses against the Xenia,
I got to choose
the balancing force.
My bright idea was the blocks.
Getting started was harder , but
I could rest once in a while.
The ride down is always bumpy.
