the pendulum
the whispered prayer of a child
is never answered
the way the child wants
I know this
for a fact
and that same prayer
shouted out
to God
by that now adult child
isn’t any
more successful
i have followed every path
found truth in the significance
and sacredness
of the minutiae
with the belief that
if I infused meaning into everything
it would all mean something
yes?
no, not really
now I find meaning in nothing
I walk no path
and find not comfort
but a vacant lot
what am I do with that?
