Problem Solvers
I watch them as they run around…
and I know,
they are not solving problems…
and I know,
they are not solving or even containing—
their over-reactive emotions.
Emotional deregulation—
is a permanent situation.
And I watch as no one is able to contain—
and certainly hold.
Problems, they are never solved.
And people run around—
as if it is an underwhelming sports day,
making nothing out of something.
James Garratt – January 2025
