Risk

We are having fun

playing our game

which is no one’s business 

but our own

as it is less

the giving of flowers 

and more an exchange 

of shots across 

each other’s bows.

It is the game

where you build a tower

and see who

will be the first

to make the column

fall

where the delight

lies in each one

taking one more risk.

It is our very own

foolish internet challenge

more cerebral than

eating tide pods

or climbing 

milk crates

more a smile of recognition

that says

we cannot always be safe

living is by its nature

a risky business.
