The Earth Keeps Spinning

Again I look in the mirror
and all I see are blank pages

naively I look to you
thinking you’ve got the answer

I look back and see
unintentional mistakes and close calls

at the poetry reading
I heard applause but did not trust it

my pay stub comes and I think
I fooled them for another month

I listen for the voice of God
but it sounds suspiciously like my own

even my name was intended
to destabilize

the earth keeps spinning
the world stays dizzy

and I take a small ragged comfort
in surrendering to the chaos
