Game Piece
I spin my personality
you land on the square
that tells you
not to make any long-range plans
the dead flowers were forgotten
maybe they shouldn’t have been

I like this poem a lot – perhaps because we are a board game playing family. It makes me think of ideas of fate and manipulation and the games people play with each other.
Thank you. I have always liked board games (I played Parcheesi with my grandparents throughout my childhood) and it seems that games are such a good description of so many life activities.
