POEM: Game of life

My body is weary

My mind is so dim —

I got up this morning

Do I sink or just swim?

I am trying so hard

to just keep alive —

Where do I go?

Where have I been?

What’s next on uthe

program — I can’t

find a thing —

So Dear God if you

are listening — I’m

sure you can see —

I’m running around

backwards —

To catch up with me.
