Gracefully inept at life’s perfection
gleefully disorganized and simple
who put the milk in the top freezer?
Sometimes I think gremlins reside here
glowing and rising with the autumn sun
I think I forgot to buy the half and half
good thing my favorite color is black,
since the toaster forgot to pop once again
ribbon-like clouds drift off to the east.
chickadees return to the empty feeder
rain arrives, my umbrella misplaced.
I have five, but can’t find even one.
adapt to life with its imperfections,
oh, what the hell, might as well smile.
