Gravity of the Soul

I believe that timing is everything.
Think about it, if you will;

when the planets do line up, it's a favorable day,
but, if they don't...everything turns into mush.

I know I have my good, and bad days
but, what registers not, with me...

is why I am to be constantly reminded,
that I am all alone, in my all glorious multi-misery.

I have repeatedly been raped, and pillaged,
though I'm not even a town.

I've even been a considerable victim,
due to one of those victimless crimes !

However, we know that the universe expands, and co-lapses
on and on, forever.....throughout eternity;

so also, will we all entertain each, and every mistake
that we failed to address during our first time around.

Maybe then, we'll be incapable of NOT grasping the notion,
that timing is everything.

I say this because, believe you...me,
my time is going to come, so beware.....I know what timing is.
