Priorities
In America we prize
houses, cars, clothes,
trips, techno-gadgets
fun,
but when winds blow
trees fly
houses crumble
cars squash flat
technology fails
clothes shred
ground splits
buildings fall
fires blaze
foundations smolder
walls of water overwhelm
towns drown
treasures disintegrate into nothing
we realize what really matters.
