that’s just how it goes
(i suppose)…
say when right next door
or way across town
a life slips
tragically away —
and when a heart gets torn
or relationships get sundered
and a thousand painful
moments in between.
yet bound as we are by
the same space-time
we’re still able
to sleep (and peacefully)
while the world
wobbles along
like a child’s lost ball
spinning much too quickly,
out of control.
