When the wheels of motion are out of alignment

In the context of things

Yes, things!

Things that come 

with consequences.

I’ve been dead

for billions and billions of years

only to emerge,

my atoms all aligned.

So here I am living, 

making a living

approaching 

my twilight years

where my atoms

will start slowly separating 

returning me to the wilderness

of space

for another billion 

and more years.

I better get my things.
