Autumn Leaves

volume 3 number 6

Time Children

by Sondra Ball

We march in moving circles
while Time spins her seasons
like a teener spins a bottle,
a gambler spins a wheel.

There is no mercy shown
for the boy whose spinning bottle
brings the wrong young woman,
or for the one whose wheel
stops on the wrong number.
