April's Fool
I like to dance at the edges of mistakes
and to play with tools instead of toys,
to find joy in some potential foolishness
and in the limits of what I can or cannot
reasonably predict. Give me a trial by
fire any day of the week, some situation
in which I know enough, as they say,
to be dangerous. I'm game to give it a go.
Nothing could please me more than to
take on some project with missing pieces,
to improvise with the tools I have instead
of the right tool for the job, or to have
to imagine the four or five critical steps
that have been left out of the instructions.
Anyone can cook a meal at times that
the pantry is full and the recipe tested.
I prefer the mystery of unimagined meals
and the chance to see if anything burns.
