(With thanks and love to Sir John Dankworth)
Every day
my mind reels, my head spins with notions and emotions.
Every night
the world spins, while storytellers spin their truths.
Every year
around the sun we spin, trying to keep our balance.
Spinning mobiles
over babies’ beds,
Spinning tires
under children’s bikes,
Spinning axles
under bus and car,
Spinning wheels under seniors’ chairs;
Spinning hands
on clock face dials
Turn, turn, turn… Our lives all spin.
