little Spaces: (little disasters)

 

 

My life &

a history
of small disasters
predicted on cue,
are one in the same.

Not born into disaster
(but born for them)
I was pre-trained to
fill

my own little spaces
with destinies
of cerebral importance.

Those little things
made up the whole
of my
life, a page,
or group of pages
     -unsorted to most.

I was the hero
of every personal story
     -and the villain in most.
Pre-written pages
that hung
from old trees
     -on old branches
never dropping off
in the
fall.

I cried,
every time a page
was torn down
by the wind
     -and I stared
once again
     -at a blank page,
instructions written
in invisible ink.
