maybe accountants do that
if one penny off from
balancing the books
or a physicist
when he can’t answer
the key quantum question
or the organic farmer
who forgot to cover the tomatoes
on a frosty night
writing one poem is actually
the product of many failures
luckily this universe
runs hot and cold
equally yin and yang
energy neither created
nor destroyed
So yes
I’ll be looking forward
to a warm fire tonight
And yes
this poem began in
a tiny splinter of wood
