taking no chances

as i measure the wall,
stretching the metal tape
from the door to the far wall.
i think about how many times
i've done this.
i should know
the dimensions by now.
i should know the center,
where to hammer a nail,
i can see where
the old holes remain.
i could go by those,
to hang the next picture
frame, but
i take no chances these days,
with art, and
many things.
