magic act

What does that mean
My life has become unmanageable?
But I manage my life so well
Balancing all those balls
Everything under control
Maybe a few too many lists –
That’s how you manage stuff, of course –
Maybe not enough spontaneity
A little too much vacuuming in the middle of the night
After all, managing is what we do when
Our lives have become unmanageable
My marriage has fallen apart so
I’ll go brush my teeth or
Rearrange the sock drawer or
Recategorize my recipes or
Straighten my desk
Or go in the bathroom
And scream into a towel
So much managing
To manage
The unmanageable
And all those balls, falling, one by one ….
