I keep the tea kettle half full, always,
I've completed the drawing for a remote controlled coffee pot
I can make the perfect scrambled egg.
I've found the way to suspend a turntable from the ceiling
for those who like to dance on hardwood floors
I can drink whiskey like my uncles did
and finally I remember
to close the garage even if
I'd parked sideways
and turfed the backyard.
It's the little things, these small and mighty triumphs
that'll have to do.
