STILL
(Upon Awakening)
Magic will not save us.
Still
when you dream
you’re in Vegas
with your ex
doesn’t that mean
life’s a gamble?
Still
as long as birds sing
outside your window
upon awakening
and your eBay search
for framed cat prints
still arrives in your inbox
and your alarm still
gently reminds you (of
something you may have forgotten)
doesn’t that mean
your best work
is yet to be done?
Hoard all you want.
What is essential is
still
out there.

Cassandra, a princess of Troy, was given the gift of prophecy from none other than the Sun God Apollo. But the gift came with strings attached, and furious when she rejected him, he couldn't take his gift back, so he cursed her: when she tried to warn people of her visions, they wouldn't believe her. Moral: Beware of Greek Gods bearing gifts. And lawn darts? A fun backyard game for the whole family! Gigantic darts! With your lawn as the target! Nothing but fun... until your sharp pointy missile sails over the fence into the neighbor's yard, and OOPS! Right into that nice neighbor's head. It seemed like a good idea at the time.... (this, obviously, is my metaphor for social media)
