miscues

it's a day of missed
buttons,
laces
that have a knot,
catching every red light,
at every
corner
making you stop.
a day of leaving home
with shaving
cream in one ear.
it's a day
of spilled coffee
on a white shirt,
of dragging tissue
around on
one shoe.
a day of saying the wrong
thing
at the wrong time,
being perpetually
misunderstood.
a day of choosing
the longest
and slowest of every line
you get into.
it's a a day
full of errant
choices, miscues.
