Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

More in Shan's Crap (Shannon McEwen)

Jumping in with both Feet

A villanelle

 

Into the chaos we so quickly leap
With no thought to the sudden crazy drop
Will we land on our feet or in a heap?

 

Is this a reward or a price too steep?
Will this joyous spiral persist or stop?
Into the chaos we so quickly leap

Forward we hurdle as the minutes creep
Lives combined and our sweet harvests crop
Will we land on our feet or in a heap?

From the divine there is nary a peep
Will this tale be an epic or a flop?
Into the chaos we so quickly leap

I'd like to giggle but perhaps I'll weep
If my heart grows larger it just may pop
Will we land on our feet or in a heap?

This constant wonder and love just might keep
We'll freefall then race back up to the top
Into the chaos we so quickly leap
Will we land on our feet or in a heap?
