How Life Goes

I wonder
If by
The end
Of life
All lives include
At least
One major
Devastation

The loss of someone un-losable

A jagged detour into the world of disability
A tenuous walk along a financial tightrope
The betrayal of a friend

I wonder

If this is
How life goes

Or if

It’s just
How my life goes

And if other lives

Don’t go this way
I wonder
What it is exactly
That takes up their time
Consumes their thoughts
Keeps them up at night

I guess

I just wonder
How life is
When it’s not
Like mine
