Merry-Go-Round

“Shall I fly away in a balloon!

Or bash my head against a stone wall?!”

Chekhov “A Marriage Proposal”

No more go-betweens.

No more Pollyannas.

No more Xmas bonus.

No more photos with the gang.

Maybe some piano music wafting

in with the breeze steady hum of fan

dogs bark in familiar knowing it allness

sinking back into/becoming the environment

losing control…

Reboot failed.

You failed.

The earth failed. 

The universe failed,

but not so’s you’d know it.
