Dawnings

fine for now

By Nicholas Hooper

oh, I’m fine for now
the world may be falling apart
but I’m fine for now

the child says
play, play, play
and be happy, happy

dog’s Brexit, a poet said
in my ear it so resounded
but here we are in mess

but, I’m fine for now
the walls of my castle
may be creaking and cracking

once they had so little
and they were happy
but now, look around: full

but, I’m fine for now
please don’t disturb
leave me fine
