I was nearly devastated
I didn't date the scrap
and a singularly particular
moment in time
was incorrectly cataloged
mangled contortions in the mind
revealed to me
a future need for payment of
closer attention to smaller details
here it is October now
a New Year's Resolution must be
added to the fraying list
harboring such hiccup
is but a stone thrown thrice
while drunk on hind sight
little comes of
such anti climax
mistakes are children of choices
we once only had mere moments
to make
it's who we are in the blurry aftermath
though that has to reconcile with
the injurious outcome
buck up
life was created on
the backs of
too often repeated mistakes...........
