When Things Behave The WAY They Do  by David Clure

When magazines,  stacked high
glossy smooth slip free then slide
tumbling down to scatter, I
groan, Why?
But then I answer my own question
with,
So who am I ?


When things behave
the way they always do?
When things behave the way
they have been made?
Why do I get SO angry.
As if its something new?
Why do I allow the situation to
frustrate me now?
When things
behave the way they do?


I'm not their Creator.
Never gave to them 
their nature.
I  must be the one, to change.
To accept reality.
I must stop thinking it --- strange,
when things behave the way
they have been made.
When things behave the way
they do the way they do.
And always will.


And I'm a creature too.
