A roar, a shake, a crick, crig...

Premium Member How Does Life Go
How does life go?
  Does it go straight ahead?
Full throttle? Ever onward and
  upward?  All systems go
all of the time? For some it may
  But not for me
           ~ That's not the way 

I say that life zigs and zags
  that it wiggles and wobbles
and waddles. It goes up;
  it comes down. It spins
around; it cries and falls down
        ~ It gets up again too...

The Ambulance
Its siren is annoying;
Its flashing light disturbs.
Its speed propels pedestrians
To back up to the curbs.

It zigs and zags on city streets
Ignoring lights turned red,
Determined to respond, no matter
What might lie ahead.

A heart attack or vertigo,
An accident or fall;
A suicide or murder – 
The attendant’s seen it all.

To passersby, its presence
Is forgotten in a minute
Except, perhaps to thank their stars
They’re not the patient in it....
