impatient to go
couldn't find my keys
at last found them in my bag
they belong in my right pants pocket.
going down the stairs
i remembered my phone, go back,
unlocked the door, went in, searched
until i found it where it shouldn't be.
while inside i remembered
to check the gas. i had
left it open.
valves were off, ok; but
i close the tank for safety, always.
keys, phone, gas. ID
in my pocket
all was in order.
on the street i stopped,
made note of my errors.
noting errors is not important
remembering to think is.
if i have to make note to
remember to think i will.
when the first baseman
makes three errors
he gets to think about it
while sitting on the bench.
no one has taken me out
i am still in this game
will do the best i can. i believe Yogi
"it's not over 'til it's over."
