Plans

By John I. Blair

Each day I make my plans,
Ensuring everything’s OK,
Confident my hours,
My minutes are secure.

I pray I have forgotten naught,
Looking for the power of thought
To guard against mistake,
Shield me from forgetfulness.

But just when I’ve grown smug
The moment comes
When I find myself alone
In a room I can’t remember
Why I entered.
