Drumbeats at the Precipice

You are the master

of your own fate, she quipped,

clearly a Believer.

But I wasn’t so sure,

what with that cosmic Hand

thrusting itself upon me

in unprecedented furor.

I mean, I always liked edgy,

but this kind of pushing

(rapidly, cryptically)

was really taking it way too far.

I replied No--

just a broken doll,

ain’t got no leverage against Sin.

Crickets.

Whatever this is, it was written with words from Timoteo’s Word List for the Real Toads, including: master, leverage, crickets, edgy, believe, precipice, thrust, cryptic, rapidly, drumbeat, and broken.

Which reminds me! Do you have your copy of Timo’s great book, Darwin’s Moon: A Memoir of Pain and Glory in Poetry and Prose? If not, you are really missing out on something special and you should remedy RIGHT NOW.
