a recipe for disaster

tragedies repeat

day by day

while those impacted

bathe in a somber grey

Knowing

that they could have done something.

Reflecting

on how there was love, now there’s nothing.

because every disaster

has its cause

following the universe’s

inflexible laws

...

like the day you

were craving a meal.

the world acted like

it was no big deal.

but then you got

into your car.

road rage got you in a fit

you drove pretty far.

then your phone rang once

no, twice.

you answered it,

trying to be nice.

and i was on

the other line.

you sounded like

you were doing fine.

but then you were

quite distracted.

some type of

thoughtlessness enacted.

and you passed

your destination

and an illegal U-turn

out of frustration

lead to a crash -

hoped you were fine

as i heard the boom

from the other line.

...

because the recipe for disaster

has its cause

frustration, distraction

the universe’s ruthless laws.

and the cause was me

as i can see

my carelessness turned into

your fatality.
