Janice Canerdy Poet Verse

Consistently Losing Ground

“The hurrier I go,
the confuseder I get.”

Picture a poster prominently placed
in the classroom of one who
teaches grammar and literature.

Its confused, cartoonish character states
(using wretched grammar) that he just can
not catch up and make sense of things. I’m a fan
of this poster and the theme it relates.
Too-fast living discombulates!


Over-commitment
can make us like poster guy—
bleeding tears, struggling—
furiously racing but
consistently losing ground.
