forever
tending to details
fleeing failure
a narrow escape
and gifts.
foolish
to gamble a life
time up in smoke
the lost campfire
sifting ashes.
charcoal
is good for teeth
be sure to floss
avoid holes and
fluoride objections.
careful
where you wander
there is danger
even as all roads go
to that same place.
