Disequilibrium

I.  
One bowl of oatmeal and one cup of tea do not offset the effects of an opioid pain pill.  Woozy is not what I should feel at water's edge on a short hike to the plateau's rim.











II.
Piney Point overlooking Roark's Cove, accessible by stepping from one rock to another across a deep gap, makes me giddy even without an opioid pain pill, especially on a glorious fall day.





III.
Staring across Sue's front yard at a hawk guarding a squirrel in its talons, I nearly lose my balance, head spinning at the sight.
