so, you never built a labyrinth
you just slowly arrived at the observation
a conclusion perhaps
labyrinth vehicle
it built it
a vehicle of rationalizations
ever churning bits and pieces
being a mind
only a part of it
under the illusion of wholeness and control
labyrinth vehicle
to dismantle it
that which is it in time
a four-dimensional machine
an object eluding direct monkey observation
by its form as such alone
to learn, to chase the walls shifting
it built it
to tear down would be to mindlessly
self-destruct
frustration
panicked occult mentations
the damned vehicle keeps eating you alive
circuiting the energy, the life force,
the pure stuff of stars and ants alike
but you, you chase the machine, exhausted
to learn is to chase the walls shifting
to understand that it is no outside thing
the vehicle was built upon you
to build a vehicle to build a labyrinth
to unbuild itself
can indeed be a task of freedom
