commandeer

I can't understand it
I just planned it 
straight from the base 
out by fork and prong
in case anything breaks, 
for contingency's sake 
I make arrays of best ways
out by spike and flange 
Where everything goes wrong 
- that's just a line on the blueprint, 
already considered in an instant 
I juke, writ large and back-filled 
- turn it up for the best, and from there 
to where I stand, call it lucky, 
I guess
