afloat

what little i know about life
is all coming unseamed
and disheveled; the
pretty daze of spring
is settling all around me,
how quickly
everything got turned around...
once with a royal flush
the house of cards
is busted, and
collapsing from the inside
out.
just keep busy,
keep your chin up,
keep your head
above the water and
eventually you'll float,
right?
trade one crazy
for another and again
and again until
the insanity sets in
and steady will come
naturally.
the wobbly walls are
okay for now, flexing
and convexing with
the exhale.
