Fall Apart

1.

Go ahead fall apart, I mean why not?

The world is falling apart, extreme fires, extreme flooding,

extreme shootings, extreme drought, extreme wars, extreme hate, 

etc, etc, etc…

Who do you think you are Atlas carrying the earth on your shoulders? 

Go ahead, fall apart!

Fall apart!    (8/31/23)

2.

Fall apart,

But what do you do when the wailing stops?

You’re exhausted, empty, thirsty

and you're lying on the floor getting bored looking at the ceiling?

Then what?

You’re ripe

for a fresh start.

Gather your gumption

crawl to your desk,

grab a piece of paper and make

a plan, write a poem, write a speech,

write to your congressperson.

Create something! Do something!
