Balancing Trick Poem by Alistair Graham

Balancing Trick



She checks the balance
at the hole in the wall;
it's not in her favour.
though the total is high
it will free-fall
when the grabbers
begin grabbing.
if she waits,
the see-saw
will crash to the floor
leaving her
groundless


They constantly tell her
it's every man
for himself
so she grabs a stash
for her for bread
her family fed
so they won't starve,
and the balance?
she leaves them to it
