Chaos Theory
It’s called Chaos Theory because
it tries to explain the connection
between events that have no discernable link.
For example, each time I sneeze,
a puppy somewhere in the world
spontaneously combusts.
Although Chaos Theory insists
butterflies and storms have more in common,
I can’t help feeling for the children
I may be inflicting with emotional pain.
As my mild allergies
could be causing carnage,
I buy anti-histamines willingly.
It’s the least I can do.Buckets and Spades
We built sand-castles and dug moats
for the incoming tide to flood.
We hid toys for our parents to find,
and buried the spades for fun.
The toys were unearthed, but not the spades;
the tide swept over the sand that encased them.
