INCIDENCE

Bobby O

INCIDENCE 
A Warning left unheeded
Circled back to extract a toll  When and where nonchalance staked it’s imbedded presence is difficult to know
Worse yet was WHY
Fastened to Duality Gripping desperate each extreme 
A manufactured reality 
A one lane scene of encroaching beams
It’s hubris and its ego it’s mistakes that feed a stubborn ugly thing  it’s a tornado we saw coming Strangers stare , aware of destruction that it brings

    Bobby this weaving of concepts with consequences makes a tapestry of word play smoothed in rhyme. Nicely done.

      That’s a real nice top notch view of the piece . Many thanks, that means a lot

      Leaning into “nonchalance” is a “manufactured reality”-thought provoking with your unique flow-👏

        Thank you for the humanity that you share

        I think under the circumstances these words could not possibly have been arranged better than they are laid here ..
