Intrepid Explorer,
entering yon tunnel
without pause
for reasonable doubt:
Will your dreams be dashed
when you emerge from jagged bottle neck
to find yourself
upon the selfsame dusty trail?
Or will you exult that,
having chanced The Dark Unknown,
you yet again stride forth unvanquished,
unscathed,
and quite free
to pursue your bold
routine inspections?
