universal placeholder
by Kitty Boots
do you know how to be in the world as you
spin on the axis?
compassion that ebbs and rises like the tide,
the epiphany of thunder,
ambiguity of lightning
hailstorms of bad decisions,
the contentment of snow
a carousel of wooden ponies
with frozen manes and tails
the brass ring out of reach
the carnies are smarter than you
