Drop-Dead Chaos
It’s hard to cry when you laugh
while in the thick of drop-dead chaos.
Listening to songs played and sung loudly
by a splendid band,
reminiscent of old sea dogs
stuck on a lunatic note.
Your senses born
on a restless wind,
only to land on what feels like swampy meadows.
No single factor can determine the cause of the
fracas
in that downward/upward spiral.
For this reason,
try to ignore the rapid shifts,
and just enjoy the party.
