Soothsayer
A soothsayer he wanted to be
in an alternate reality
where time is not defined
in terms of future, present and past...
But he was a practical man...
How could he his routine,
his balanced life keep,
if he let his mind
abducted by alien thoughts?
Yes, he was a practical man...
After all
the wire makes the acrobat,
but, it is the net underneath it
that saves him...

excellent illustration the acrobat and wire- sound reasoning and judgment I acquired from your poem which was timely.

on our asses or head. ;)

Liked the first stanza alot. The reference to the past, present and future reminded me of a basic Tarot spread. I also like how you compare and contrast the fantasy with the practical.
