The towering arc of a tidal wave
about to crash,
its barrel curling in on itself.
For a moment, in slow motion
gravity pulling, tidal-force propelling
its relentlessness unstoppable,
inevitable, yet still shattering every time.
It collapses on itself.
A terrifying crash, a formidable roar
that will smash and drown you every time,
unless you're prepared.
Yet, in spite of its inevitability
we are never ready.

Should We Not Try to Get Too Political?
Here's something you often hear people say, "I try not to get too political." I understand the sentiment and I sympathize with it... while at the same exact time, I completely disagree with the notion. Whether it's referring to social media or wherever, it's kind of unavoidable. You can attempt to sidestep it, not engage, leave the less important things for actual politicians to discuss... you can want it to not take over your life, your conversations, your relationships, and that makes perfect sense.
