Poetry
Stop The Merry-Go-Round
I want to get off
The merry-go-round of life
Can have a hypnotic effect
To which I’m susceptible
Lulling my senses into
A false sense of comfort and control
Not quite a Groundhog Day existence
For there are changes
Fluctuations in the patterns of my days
But forward movement is often
Hard to detect
And at times regression seems to actually prevail
Persistent troubling…
