Life

Plank by rickety plank

Hope treads ahead,

a tightrope walker

feet steady

keenly aware 

one slight misstep
 

might break her, 

yet with faith enough 

to try.

you can change
how fast you age
with bleached white teeth

pump up lips,
tattoo them
hot pink 

how your
skin appears
with fake tans

not to mention
hair dyed to hide
unwanted gray

but there's nothing,
not a pill, that will
ever change your
thoughtless heart
