One after another we fall
each in line with no cause but pressure
the touch of the one before
a line of dominoes
the closer we are
the faster we fall.
But picking back up?
That takes longer.

I like the line “with no cause but pressure.” And the overall concept of closeness being a potential liability intrigues.
[Though your one tag makes me think of a t-shirt I saw today: “Bad Poetry: Oh noetry”)
Picking up does indeed take a while…
Nice.
