Hanging In The Balance

By a threadbare thread

Between a futile existence

And a distorted reality

Encumbered by infinite

Answerless questions

Overwrought opinions

Baneful baseless beliefs

Duplicitous distractions

Over an abysmal abyss

.

Geez, look what can

Happen to a person who

Spends a few moments

On fb or watching the news

Wonder what would occur

If one just went outside

.

Hmmmm

.

Feel the sun shining

The breeze blowing

The leaves rustling

The birds singing

With the most destructive

Activity a little cloudbusting

After interpreting images of

Frogs, fries and fast cars

Dogs, dancers and desserts

Guitars, grapes and goldfish

Feel much better already

.

Balanced instead of hanging
