DIFFERENCE OF OPINION

Lives wobble
from orbit

Most get back in line

You may have noticed
a tremble that last week

in Antigua -
burned

inward - blamed
fresh love

Best to refrain from
careening off course

It strains -
such sharp departure

from gravitas
Matter has exceptions

disruptions
What does not vary is

the steely track of the past
scrape of the present

eclipse
in the wings

Go ahead
chance it

Start small

Whisper
Then scramble

too close
to the ledge

Intrigue a mirror
Plant your notion in

a jardinière
Stretch the boundaries

But carefully
They may snap back at you

like slingshot prongs
disoriented from gin

Not like tired skin
I know you want

no real surprise -
surprise me

My special feast -
unruly forces
