They come sorted and sifted,
Declare-stamped as gifted,
Shrink-wrapped and packed,
Rank-ordered and stacked.
On treadmills they turn,
On the spot they learn
Expectations (too) great,
Realisations running late.
Who am I running for?
Where was that open door?
When did all go amiss?
Why am I doing this?
The answers lie with you,
Lies will answer true.
