Always in the Middle

Everything went sideways ~ 

that’s what happened one 

yesterday, or maybe more, 


those sideways days ~ just 

cracks in days planned to flow gentle as a summer river 


interrupted by a summer storm. What are sideways things? In the middle: 


dropping a glass container

      that shatters!

or spilling a dish of water 


(the floor needed washing anyway)

or the dreaded hairballs that must be cleaned up1

There are many little everythings like that 


outside the order of the day’s plan. 

Words coloured violent blue assault the air.

’til everything’s righted with brooms, rags and lysol.


“Anything and everything you can think of can turn your life around.”

~ Nik Halik, astronaut, entrepreneur
