"...and crown thy good with brotherhood..."

I truly am trying not to
but,
and this is no excuse
I
care about what is going on around me-
The pendulum is in a whirlwind.
I stare and the world is still turning;
this is apparently all the proof most need to worry about their credit or
credit debt-
I stare at my house, burning.
I see now that the rafters have decided the fate
of we who must be crushed beneath their fiery weight.
I am not even looking for the oxygen that is left the room.

I soak in the moments of less heat-
adjust my paradigm to this new pain-
I truly am trying not to, but-
