The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Railroads not quite meeting.


Oops 4

It was calculation, I know,
and it should have ended just so
but somewhere in those numbers
perhaps while we were at slumber
we made a minor booboo
just like the errant cuckoo
and our lack of true foresight
leaves us, alas, half right.
