lesser of the two

na.

nothing sums up a

quitter like s/he who

invests themselves in

“the lesser of two evils,”

bathing themselves in

supposed pragmatism,

walking with an illusion

of certainty that when

faced with two choices,

rather than demand a

third, or demand to

have a different system of

choosing altogether, or

even more, to throw up

the whole puzzle in the

air to watch it come crashing

down into blissfully

destructive & completely

deserved chaos, it is

more “appropriate” to

cave, queue up &

follow in line, one step

in front of the other off the

conveyor belt & into the

meat grinder, in hopes

that the safe little world

of comfort in which

one dwells will not be

upset.
