Expressions Of Balance

Another spell of crazed lightening - it doesn’t seem 

t’ be Hell bent on removing us from where we’re at, 

whereas y’d never know whether a plan was there - 

& that can’t rest easy; it’s the third day in row if our 

count’s right, things go crazy from dusk til late, sky 

alight, rumblings reverberating, occasionally drops 

of rain - we agree it doesn’t express dour invective 

we’ll likely get pity for - if it’s ever relevant out here 

But the way these patterns play on ideas normality 

used to suggest were the expressions of balances, 

or even checks on a larger scale of what matters & 

where anomalies in need of redress exist, it is now 

like gambling with no say in who gets the money - 

or’m I saying it th’ wrong way, & nothing changed
