Against the Grain
7/23/17
Here then gone, like poof!
Below the floor and above the roof
On par, falling behind or ahead of the game
Going with or against the grain
Getting it wrong and right
During the light of day and in the dark of night
Still here or evaporated
Spoken truly or exaggerated
Continually being loved and hated
In one location or anywhere on the map
In a place so small or space where it's all so vast
On the move or still
Healthy or ill
In the form of a liquid or pill
Done incorrectly or with skill
Losses and victories
Proven or still a mystery
Forgotten or a part of history
Ending up in first or last place
Going at a slow, steady or fast pace
