Arlene Corwin Poetry

With War As Background

I sit and worry.
In the flurry of the worry
I remind myself
Where ever I am I am here
And here is now,
The outside and behind the brow.
God only knows the why and how.
Hence, one should never worry
About wars and such.
Reality is where you are,
To handle much the way your brain is clutched
By thoughts, ideas, the far, the near,
The very fear that this, the nightmare war engenders.
