Remember Jenga?
Take one from the middle, put it on top
Hands shaking, we breathe carefully
This is a game about falling
about crashing down when the center gives way
It is you and me.
It is all of us, as carefully as we can
becoming top-heavy
We know what we are doing
We hope it will be somebody else
But we know it will be
And we can't stop
Or, won't.
