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.
