When you think you've got the balance right
And everything fits into place
There's always some weird oversight
That jerks your chain and you lose face...
A confirmation goes astray
A rendezvous you somehow missed
A scrap of paper thrown away
With details of a special tryst...
You blame your handbag – it's a mess
What you need is never there
No pen to write with - great distress
For this poet - deep despair!
We're always rushing, but what for?
What happened to the Great God Zen?
Time passes and though less is more
Life falls apart without my pen!
