Untouched By Tempests

A drug crazed world spins on ever faster. Bodies tumble out of that carousel never to be seen again. Once whirling dervishes twirled now they stagger and fall drunkenly. Molestation hangs in the air drooling its perilous lava. All control is folly, and yet... this morning I sip at a mug of Columbian one hand to pick up a casino bought fob watch, I let its fake gold chain run threw my fingers, feel the weight of the colored glass jewel set within its case This simple tactility rests my mind I am at peace with myself. if all the lithium cell batteries were to cease this instant, I would still have this moment to live within, the taste of rich coffee and this non-working $10 watch to treasure.
