Illustrious and inconceivable

Illustrious and inconceivable!
Disasterous arrangements in the stars
Foretold the conflict of our situation,
Though instead I ignored their advice.

Determinism? Don't I have a choice
Of what I want to do with my own life?
The attributes and aspects I'll pursue
To reach a happiness or excellence?

Don't tell me that the noon is like the dusk
Or that the summer differs none from winter,
Because we both know that's just not the case.

A field of possibility extends
Beyond the purview of the astrologues,
Beyond these tools of name and rhetoric.
