Trivial Pursuits Poem by Kevin Cowdall

Trivial Pursuits



I stand
and watch my children
at play in the garden below.

They laugh
at trivia I can no longer
find amusing,

and chase
each other's shadows,
unaware of darker connotations.

Each has
a private oracle within them
to resolve all problems.

Theirs is
a world of constant tomorrows.
Death is a lifetime away.
