How The Story Ends
Different scruples, different molds
This how the story folds
Different pursuits, different hunts
This is how the story stunts
Different contests, different games
This is how the story maims
Different seaports, different ships
This is how the story slips
Different retreats, different haunts
This is how the story taunts
Different dogmas, different faiths
This is how the story scathes
Different ventures, different stakes
This is how the story rakes
Different yearnings, different goals
This is how the story shoals
Different measures, different plans
This is how the story pans
Different cohorts, different friends
This is how the story ends
