ARC

We live in
the arc - 
day and 
night,
sane and 
insane,
self and
other,
fast, slow –
the arc is
all around.
 
It’s the steady
inhale and exhale
of life. 
 
And somewhere
in there
is us,
bumping heads and
talking trash
as we attempt to manipulate
and control
the arc
that knows
no favour.
(From the Alphabet anthology)​
