I am best
second-by-second
. . .
not at first, mind,
notatall
but second thought
finds me
well
it finds me,
and all
the(se)
clichés
. . .
preferring the belief that
third time is charmed
–not struck
and twice redeemed I
sally forth
–it isn’t my name
imaginary
Beethoven’s fifth
backgrounding my mundane
sic’s sense a reassuring vibration
–if misspelled, it’s how I think
that’s even luck
is with me
–oddly enough
that life is
great,
and most things
are benign
(more often than not)
