Takes little to break.

Right now; I am broken blade of grass,
that floating cotton thing you wish on when caught.
A castle from a deck of cards. Give me an eddy. 
I’m swept; it takes little to be blown away.

the load that i bear is lightened

I am a loose compound of loose molecules with
uneven atomic charges that won’t hold. When
stuffed  to a beaker of sorts.  Turn on the heat
and watch.  It takes little to break me down.

defences are compromised

Later on; I am a jumper on a ledge. A stopped
car on green.  Opposites in heat, on a bed come
night time.  At thumbtack on styro.  All it
takes is a little push, to go all the way.

a little nudge that is all…

I am wheel.  A cabbie flagged on the wrong side.
A car on a one way street.  The prodigal son
refused. A lover denied access.  Major’s blowing
the whistle.  It won’t take much to turn around.

though I still try to resist

Don’t be nice, it’s not much to be mean. Lesser
still to frown… and it’s easier to be angry.
I’d rather you do all those things I hate.
Since right now; or later on, I’m easy to break.
