THE TOGETHER FORECAST.

An egg shell cracks,
A tightrope snaps,
A minefield map’s misplaced,
And that’s all it takes
For today to go the way of the Dodo;
So maybe tomorrow
We will ride the rollercoaster
To a finer height,
And try and sustain the ride,
For a little while at least,
Until the beast
That resides within
Begins again
To plunge us under its spell.

And if we spend a little longer
On this premise
Then the promise
Of a more honest future
Might suit us
Better than the bent mess of yesterday,
And we can look forward
To open doorways
Instead of exits
Next week,
And the months after,
And further learning
And laughter
Will be better graphed.
