Upheaval and chaos
visual din
hazard to elbow
ankle and shin
finally sold
my house inside-out
I’m up to my ears
what am I about?
am I stressed, twitterpated
sleepless? You bet.
Do I know where I’m going?
No! Not yet!
But life has its moments
of precariousness
we just have to hold on
and slog through the mess.
If you’re getting too complacent
and your life is too benign
just dig a little hole
and plant a For Sale sign.
No words speak of chaos
with greater eloquence
or open greater floodgates
of diverse bamboozlements
than these two simple syllables
which open up our closets
to strangers’ cold inspections
and our own uncertain posits.
