Slipping
A slip
of
the tongue.
A slip
on
the ice.
A slipped
disc, memory.
Slipshod.
A slip
on a
sweet
young body.
A slippery
eel
customer
slipping out
before the
fireworks
start.
Slipping
between
the cracks,
your whole
life turned
to vapor.
Up it
goes into
the sky,
down it
comes again
like
black rain.
Cold facts.
Illusive reality.
