Tag: futility

Solve-ing Nothing.

Revolve…

futility, new year, pointless, resolutions

Why seek to steer what moves beyond control?

The merits of mere stasis we extol / As if the middle ground’s a magic tool / Why seek to steer what moves beyond control? / We try to hold it still, then watch it roll…

control, futility, villanelle

Sonnet XXIII – The Map a River Makes

And now, behold, the deluge comes anon; containers burst and none can stand the wash.

dam, Edenville, flood, futility, Midland, regulation, spillway

the blender

A month goes by, then years, they blend

blender, cycles, futility, green juice, important, smoothie, time

Sonnet XVI – Time Tasting

That day shall come, too soon , notfastenough;

calendar, centering, clock, futility, mindfulness, present, time

Six Flags falls on Hard Times

open, but just barely.

amusement, dreams, futility, pandemic
