Ways of Living Ii
falling backwards into
what one thinks is a net
laying low & waiting,
only to find that no net
is lying there for you to
fall---in response to this
situation, one closes the
eyes & tries to find a way
back to before this falling
happened, recoiling into
an earlier place when things
seemed to be better &
wanting to stay there, not
move, stay stationary &
tread water for what seems
like an eternity, said
individual becomes weaker
with each passing day---
as the stress piles up,
so does the inability to
cope with what is actually
at hand.
