Fire Dancing on a Pinhead

 


While Angles were

dancing on the head

of a pin, things

went and got a little

crazy down here.

 

It seems there’s only

so much punching at

the air I can do,

or so much keyboard

pounding I can muster.

 

The World put on

some insanity pants, a fruit headdress

and started an

apocalyptic cha-cha

to the rhythm of our own muttering.  

 

A haunting cadence of

voices, cold and muffled,

chanting some ancient gripes

in modern times, hoping

things will fix themselves.

 

We may have started this Fire

Mr. Billy Joel; we really may have,

been the bringers of our doom,

amidst our myopathy and self-involved

self-involvement.

 

So many fires,

so little rain,

so many opinions,

has so many people,

acting insane.

 

I’ll use this pin,

to post this message,

hoping not to disturb,

all the Angels Dancing,

to the same sad fiery beat.
