Fools For Falling

It’s the float that gets addicting

Just before you hit the floor

A vase of flowers, struck by lightning

Jarred from the counter, with the door

Pedals in puddles, pools of promise

Scattered like a puzzle, done before

Loves grand collection of hopeful hostage

Fools always coming back for more
