And what's the good of all the
fancy footwork,
When the drifting sands keep
shifting and shifting?

What do you do with a life
that won't fess up--
that weighs and measures
with every step?

Saturday night...
Outside--cold, monotonous
rain.
Inside--icy pools, boiling seas,
foaming oceans
of anxiety
of remorse
of self-reproach.
