A Poet's Path

Eveyone is chipped from the womb to explore different things in Life. What would surely kill one person is merely a flesh wound to somebody else.
Explorers like Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Jaques Cousteux seek the planets crusts and bile, probing strange and dangerous new routes.
Composers like Mozart and Handel search the wind, looking for beautiful whispers from Gods in the clouds.
And we poets and writers travel to those most lethal and alluring of places, the mind and soul of Man, where survival depends not on compasses or violin strings but on guile and the ability to con.
