the storm
a jagged total
of all it chose to destroy
evening frolicked
among countless
silk laced curtains
still
this mind
tends to misread its cycle
with the chaos found
in a room full of clocks
such visuals rise far above
the all too common
and oh so every day
a vast number of children are cleverly
aware
of the necessity to behave
at the hands of their despairingly
dumbfounded parents
as their individual mischief
the universal text
written for the family plays
of all centuries............
