Ballistic Life
You think you have done it,
job complete,
the end.
But what you really have done
is bounced,
a ballistic arc of life,
the journey's not complete.
Each bounce is but a step,
graduation,
college,
graduation.
Job,
promotion,
marriage,
parenthood.
Anniversaries,
birthdays.
Weddings,
funerals.
However
you measure time,
like a flea hopping,
life is a trampoline.
Just bouncing along,
until there is,
no spring left.
death.
