Every step I take

-->

Every step I took

was in the wrong direction

because

the taking of the step

itself was the wrong direction.

Every step I took

was a mistake

because

the taking of the step

itself was the mistake.

Every move I made

I fell into a trap

because

the moving
itself was the trap.

I lost my way

in countless ways

because
the counting
itself was the getting lost.

How far do I have to travel

to come home to myself?
