Security

I would't sleep in a bed

with wonky wheels

that's high on a hill

where west winds roll.

I wouldn't hold money

in Zimbabwe dollars

during hyper inflation

and civil unrest.

I wouldn't build a tree house

on the back of an old branch

that was blasted by lightning

on which giraffes occasionally graze.

Don't look for security,

a haven to hold your heart,

in something that is essentially

insecure.
