It is easy to imagine

It is easy to imagine

That the worst

Can happen

It often does

Whatever the affirmations say

So little is

Within control

Demanding infinite energy

To keep all the balls

In the air

At one and the same time

Chaos is universal

Perpetual motion

Is an illusion

Gravity has a way

Of bringing everything down

Sheer weight

Of responsibility

Drains the remainder

Eventually

A rogue asteroid

Punches through

The precariously spinning

System

Cutting a swathe

Through a perfect constellation

Skittling planets

Disrupting the balance

Assiduously created

To retain an ordered sequence

How random

Destiny can be

When we ignore

The possibility

Of disorder

As a tolerable state
