when thoughts meander like dragonflies
swarming over the river
with the clock running down
the typhoon calls its last time out
the outcome still in doubt.
in this soccer game of life
who cares who wins
as nature works itself out
forgets a strategy
makes no plans
takes it as it comes
all in good time
dragonflies keep jerking
back and forth
faking out hungry swallows
before the storm river moans
tumbles torrents over boulders
moving its goalposts
to where dragonflies might be hiding
without warning
without mention
overtime or extension
