85. Spiral [100 poems challenge]

85.          Spiral

When life is spiralling out of control
It takes a special kind of madness
To stop and ponder whether the phrase
“Running around in ever diminishing circles”
Is mathematically and geometrically
Correct.

Comments: And then write a poem about it. And then search the dictionary to confirm that this is more an “aphorism” than a poem (which is also true of quite a few of the other items in this collection).

Themes to come: 86. Seeing Red; 87. Food; 88. Pain; 89. Through the Fire; 90. Triangle
