Something About Control

The pundits speculate, some will miss the mark,

others will come close, but never be right on.

For sure, most of us know the grass still grows

and the old oak adds another day, broken bran-

ches and all. Predict if you will, prognosticate and

speculate—Your guess is as good as mine. The

Cosmos looks at billions of years by which to

measure change. We human simpletons have a

more narrow view, calculating time day by day.

Whatever comes, today is a day of cleansing

for me, the day I dip my hands into the bucket

of water and wash my face. I am in control of

nothing more than that.
