It does not matter how careful you are
crackers fall between the cracks,
quarters find creases in the couch,
bullets aimed here hit someone else.
Your hands can stop only that much
and your bones are not much better.
Everything safe a pinball game,
blood cold, air blowing through an opening,
sweat racing August’s heat.
All work is property of Michael Brownstein.
