BANG! (the starter's pistol) and we begin.
Whatever you may have staked upon the race
There's something you will have to come to know
We can hear nothing in the thundering din;
The voice of comment dies without a trace.
No matter what you're saying: there they go!
With Surface scratched (to nobody's chagrin)
The gelding Hope maintains a lightning pace
Beside whom Possibility seems slow.
Now randy Yang pursues the fleeing Yin
Unwitting of the truth we all must face:
Whatever begins in joy will end in woe;
What do they flee from that must be within
Themselves? is it others or time they chase,
Hoping to reap what they won't have to sow?
