"As an Inch Worm"


“Like an Inch Worm”

cji
1/8/18

Tranquil and peaceful
hanging on a single thread
high above the ground
even just at ground level
minding own business
bothering no one at all
then feeling a tenseness
something in the winds
rains, chills, ice, snow
like an inch worm found
being whipped here/there
to and fro life shattered
tranquility disappearing
turmoil dizziness helpless
caught in a recycle bin
humanity all around grasping
something in the winds
giving a sure warning
did I notice or vacant
like an inch worm known
lost in oblivion beyond
high above the ground
even just at ground level
minding own business!
