shakes. Things start to fall
but by the grace of God
I have survived!
The news highlights
collapsed buildings and
the inevitable tragedies
of the unlucky ones.
Yet for the likes of me
the day and life go on:
the phone calls resume,
those emails are sent.
For we must forget
that our fate rests
on random movements
of tectonic plates.
