Fight Another Day

 Looks like I'll live to fight another day, 
The VA disability check came in just at the precise moment
When there were fumes in the tank
And all the plastic was in a similar state...
Still readjusting 
To this life on my own...
Just a few more expenses
And this little wax boat
Will make it through
Turbulent waters...
One never knows
Just exactly
What's around each corner...
Are we enjoying the show?
Our life
As it plays out...
Is it interesting,
At least?
It may be fraught with danger
And heartbreak...
But could it be novelized? 
Would anybody want to read it?
The highs and the lows,
A Chronicle of one human's experience...
How many lives would you touch?
How many lives do you touch?
Is it more than you might think?
Probably more than you would believe...
Everything is connected...
Everything is accessible...
As above, so below...
The fractal nature
Of the Holographic Universe...
Everything is one...
Everyone is one...
And we prove this
Through communication 
Of our differences...
These are actually the places
We are the most alike...
The things that initially
Draw or repulse us
From each other...
They are the common ground...
Sharing our experience 
Is the nature of existence...
One story can touch a million minds...
One idea
Can change the tides...
Light the match...
