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
