Things don't work for me
The way they do for others
-People wonder why.

Being born to write
Means fighting Death to the end
-life lived with meaning.

Grandfather clock chimes
As time moves ever onward
-persistent grind.

Little girl in park
Looking out through ornate bars
-a playful prison.

Why spend so much time
On what could have been, but is not
-so much to see.
