(mostly) short poems on life and love

out of control

September 26, 2018 by Michael Guerin

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.
