shed never be accused of handling material deftly
                                                      she juggled it like balls too big for her hands
at the getgo  going well 
                             the first bobble threw her timing off

then she was unable to keep the rhythm
 
           erring 
                      bobbling  all the balls falling down 


one would think that for as long as shed been trying 
                                                        shed stop give it up      Quit


Quit wasnt in her

she walked from ball to ball picking them up

ball by ball she inspected them

it had to be the balls

some imperfection she missedoverlooked 

certain a ding an imbalance 


                                        she couldnt find either

she shook the dustpicked the lint off the line Absence of evidence isnt evidence of absence

it brought a shortlived solace

any harbor during a storm

its Any port in a storm 


she liked harbors 

                     wasnt a sailor likely to have a woman in every port

its A girl in every port

she liked women

 

obfuscation 

              obscuring 

                           denying something doesnt make it any truer                               
maybe if the balls were different colours

she tried that

maybe if the balls were significantly smaller

she tried that


Maybe you ought to stop. If it was meant to be you’d have succeeded by now. 




Succeed

Success is in the trying



he really liked her
 
                     he had an aversion to perfection
