When one realizes a mistake,
like walking in the rain unprepared,
it is a simple gesture
to eventually accept being water laden in minutes,
though this is temporary,
there are other moments
define our identity
excruciating exercises
when a hopeful humiliation
will be enough for the instigator
make change.
We live amongst perfection and failure,
the latter so commonly in our mind
old tapes,
though the former drawn from the present
will move us toward closure is certainly an appeal
peace of mind.
