Maybe we crumble like that. Things come crashing into our life setting fires and breaking windows Things come crashing into our life no matter how strong the edifice And the fires within are our undoing, little by little the heat builds stress Toppling us, floor upon floor Until no floor is a safe haven from disaster. We cry at the piles of rubble left after the breakdown of structure; remnants of a life no longer organized a system no longer standing. Maybe...we crumble like that, too.
