These days

The collapse of even the biggest of things starts with the smallest of cracks.

Foundations however strong may one day flounder and give way.

The fine streaks of stress that show up on a plastered wall can be covered up easily with a fresh coat of paint

But the splintering continues underneath.


Rot employs an expansive array of devices to avoid detection.

And when the stink finally wafts through, it is often too late.


When things are looking up, everything seems to go your way.

But you don't really notice it.


When things go bad, they go bad really quickly.

Usually with much drama and with little or no forewarning.

"Everything's falling, and I am included in that
Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you"

- Be Be Your Love, Rachael Yamagata
