Laurence Overmire - Rubik's Cubik

Life seems to pose
A continual
Challenge
To accept the flaws
Of family and friends

Things you cannot change
Things you’ll never like
Things that just don’t make much

Sense
And the question is how
Do you accommodate
Their presence
—or absence—
In a life you must claim
As your own.
