Flat Line Horizon
when my first marriage
was on the rocks
we drove to a beach
hoping that sand and water
would fix whatever was wrong
watched our young children
laugh in the shallows
ignorant of our adult problems
some believe that
all they need is a week
on the beach pretending
that the nine to five
don’t care about you bosses
standing waste deep in salt and water
while my children
now young men
rail against
the tatnic potential death waves
that came on rolling green blue
my body still felt tired
and that vast endlessness
did nothing to fix
whatever this is

the event horizon
sometimes goes vertical,
there is no help for it,
for me it was a canoe trip
