careful with new things

we're careful with
new things.
the car,
the boat, the cycle.
the new plates
in the cupboard,
new art
on the wall, we're
careful
in hanging
things, banging the nail
just right to prevent
a fall.
we're careful,
with a new shirt, 
careful with our sips
of coffee,
careful
not to drip.
and us, are we any 
different careful with each
other,
so new to this.
