How do we do it? How
do we keep our balance
in these trying times?
Nowadays, it seems everyone
is out of sorts, outside the norm.
We walk on eggshells, trying
not to offend or offer advice,
not to burst out
with withering
final farewells,
just because
we are so far apart.
On everything.
Politics intervenes
in every venue,
every decision
of our shaky existences.
How do we walk the balance
beam without prior practice
or professional guidance?
How?
