Investment in Idolatry

Keith Moul implies that most human activities conclude in several quite predictable results: success in light of the object; failure in light of the object; or in brutal competition, complete abandonment of the object in favor of new options C-Z. His chapbook of poems invest Keith in considerations of noble paths, but almost certain misdirection. Readers, therefore, may be alert to surprises, the compelling diversions of history, or language that in Keith's opinion will protect explorers of dark latitudes. In other words, watch out for idolatries that can arise innocently to capture you completely.
