not many of us try
trying to master tossing
***** rhythmically over and over
into the upper atmosphere
successfully

but life,
shoot, that’s another thing,
making juggling a life skill
that comes with the hard
crash of a ball dropped
and all the glue,
can’t return pristine
to what now is an
edgy
design
of a flawed life
cracked up to
be a mis~fortune telling
as
*a map of cracks run rampant
rampaging, ramp aging,

ominously
