Strange

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Things that happen in this freak show world!

"

that shake your belief in the natural order of things.

Things such as the Twin Towers and O.J., 

make you ask yourself, "What in the hell is going on?"


Those are just the collective events that make everyone gasp.

Then there are the personal things that bring you to your knees,

things like a car wreck leading to divorce, that you

never saw coming, things that make you afraid to

get out of bed, or turn on the TV, or go for a drive, or...
