Puddle Problem

Seeping through
the cracked facade
of our daily decay
tears of frustration
permeate the potholes
we navigate every day..

Some go out of their way
to dance around the pit
with rationalizations applied
while others grit their teeth
and decide impulsively
to plow right through it..

I for one perpetually
try to leap over
the man made obstacle
of unknown depth
and more often not
get drowned
by the overconfidence
that comes
with reality denying arrogance
