Recalibrating the Future

uncertainty lies on the ground in puddles of doubt


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.
