having a clue

where the answer is not simply given
but taken almost by brute force
things departed from the normal course
reality and dream suddenly riven
by those who had not long striven
with untrammelled fury no remorse
in their hearts lacking all source
desperately desiring to be forgiven
the turn that comes at the road's end
is half-expected but every surprise
is treasured even by the haughty
the voltaic surge at the final bend
seen only by those folk with open eyes
almost a shock but never really naughty
