No One's Perfect - June 9, 2024

the gnat-catcher mis-judged

caught too much water

missed the fly and now shakes

his wet feathers in a tree

reminded me of the time

I was netting leaves from

the same pool miscalculated

its edge and fell in

pulled myself out

soaked shirt shorts and sandals

so embarrassed I hoped

no one had seen it

or me shaking with laughter
