Single events lead to others,
watch a cascade of dominos,
one click at a time
picture a ball bouncing down a staircase
unsteady, but relentless.

Your suitcase hits the ground before the glass does
but the shards follow soon
as do your books
then your clothes.

Pity you aren't here to see it
I probably should take a picture.
One of us might want a keepsake.
Someday
