Happenstance
Summer dreams all fly in a glitter of dust
Under drama the pile grows stale
Series of ages to walk through
Some happy, some sad
Some drama piles on the sadness
Aglitter the lashes flutter
Some dreams grow by stages
Aglitter the trauma fades in
Some dreams leap by bounds
A recollection drifts down the pipe, bursting into flames;
Speculation rings you up
A tremulous voice on the other end
A stark reminder of no guarantees
Languid seething neurons under your skin
