There are Mornings

There are mornings 

when I walk into a darkened room, slide my hand 

on the wall searching 

for the light switch 

then chastise myself because 

there has never been a light switch there. 


It’s on the other wall 

three feet away. 


Some days I laugh at myself, 

some days I’m annoyed with myself for repeating an old mistake and most days I go to where the light switch is, 

click it on, waking me to the reality that is my kitchen


“A well adjusted person is one who makes 

the same mistake twice without getting nervous.”

~ Alexander Hamilton
