SPINNING

Just barely do I stand steady
on this planet. I feel the spin
some days (I know people say
you can't but I do). I get 
nauseous from it, the spinning.
I want the world to make sense,
the news to be good, the people
not to die from stray bullets or
the intended ones. I want the
spinning to be in service to a 
cake batter being brought to
perfection. Or a salad dried out
in a bowl made just for the 
turning. Some days, I just
want it to stop.
