doubt falls from the heavens like spring showers
sinkholes of trust are discovered and hoisted into
bureaus of misinformation for dispositions while
the homeless are robbed of their lifestyles and
squirrels chase rabbits across the east valley...
values like apple cores tossed in the trash are
collected each Friday to fill in mental landfills,
politicians try not to be so political casting out
their fears in Sunday morning worship halls...
retirees recalibrate their future as they move in
and out of markets that bridge their fortunes
from the past to the present - chilling moments
freeze concerns in lieu of changed directions,
life moves in one direction but hope and fears
remain in the past holding onto those dreams
that the other side does not want to surface.
