the voice inside my head
surprises me at times with gifts,
and it can be so utterly original
I've learned to pay attention
clues to understanding significant patterns
come from a place I know nothing about
but they very much seem intended for only me,
they are philosophical phrases I have never heard
I know I should repeat them aloud as mantras
over and over and over again
until one day when unsuspectedly I can say
Aha....this is that missing puzzle piece
from the rectangular grid lying on the kitchen table
haha, all along I thought I'd been ripped off
by the manufacturers through a terrible omission
in packaging......But, I never gave up
I didn't really use that table there much anyway

Re: The Table
a moment of understanding! What a gift
Re: The Table
thought I'd bought a defective under-counter light
because it flickered whenever I jostled the cord -
turns out I hadn't plugged it in securely enough...
thought my credit card might have been hacked -
just forgot about the MathType software I'd bought...
thought I'd lost my car keys -
'til I checked the pocket of my raincoat...
better to be vigilant & wrong
than blissfully complacent, I guess
