2011 Poem a Day Challenge - Day 25

For today's prompt, write a falling poem. This could be about the physical act of falling (like someone tying your shoelaces together), or it could be symbolic falling (such as falling in love). With only five days left (after today), we're quickly falling out of another poem-a-day challenge. Make these last few days count, or at least, fall forward toward the finish line.

=================================

You want me to write a poem about falling? Really? Weekend chock full of movie shooting and driving around SW Pennsylvania? Nine hour work day? Laundry? Baking bread? Getting groceries and carting them across a parking lot in a metal cart during a lightning storm?!? Do I look like I am not ready to fall over already? Seriously. If I had time with nothing to do, I wouldn't know what to do?

And more to the point, how the heck am I going to top Shlomo?!?

=================================

Sand
Stones
Shadows
The Sun
The Moon
Seasons
Crude mechanics
Digital brilliance
Some of the finest achievements of man
Have been dedicated to the impossible -
The ability to stop the seconds
From falling into chasms of memory
And oceans of regret
