Try, try again

Irony is in the folded pant cuff

that keeps unrolling

as you steam it.

Actions that continue to be done

time and time again

even though the results are the same.

Failure is a tool,

but so is knowing

when failure is no longer an option

and choosing a different strategy.

Wake up and smell the coffee

because this fall

the snow has already covered the late blooming flowers.

So enjoy what is left of the morning

and practice what you preach

or end up as a stoned monument in the past.
