how days on earth vary!


one day is smooth as silk

soft as butter

or whatever cliche you feel

best expresses your imagining

of an ideal condition


then the next day overturns that

with strange forces prowling around the stars

and human idiocy unleashed

among the frayed conditions of the earth

man against man for the sake of survival


on the universe's dung heap


while we idolize some static heaven

powered by black holes and nova explosions

that beggar any catastrophe we know in the earth....
