it was a tumbling
a stumbling
down
without
hitting the ground
standing on
a tightrope
with
no net below
the walls of the
canyon
growing
taller
making
1 so
…….so
………….so
very small
in the scheme
of things
a bee
buzzes by
and a fly
lands on 1’s nose
do not wiggle
do not giggle
do not sneeze
for fear
of losing balance
a form of control
hold on
hold back
a slip
of the tongue
there is no retraction
consider
…….. an act
of kindness
……………….instead
with all sincerity
honestly
speak
unto other’s
as you would
want……….for yourself
