You Want Something To Cry About

you want something to cry about
I’ll give you something to cry about

the understanding that life has meaning 
but that the meaning is forever changing
faster than you can

and that you can only grasp a small part of it
that is history by the time 
you grasp it

the brass ring is an illusion
but you must grab and hold on to it
to continue on the ride
