The only thing that is certain in life is that it is hellaciously uncertain
And one must learn to live in the ebbs and flows of instability.
Ascertained by the necessity of one's belongings living in the lawn.
Dumped while scavengers peer in the windows.
A young sophomore plucked from his decade of surroundings.
Abandoned to the backwash and prompted by the maternal prescriptions.
Mother laying lifeless upon the next fix.
Enthusiastic bright smile, never questioning, always adapting to the unknown.
His name given by the forefathers a glimpse of salvation
Gone in the midst of the night of never ending goodbyes.
goodbyes can be painful...

that stanza on the back wash is painful...
