It is easy to imagine
naturetimedrumming
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
