Counting.

I...

Am a sliver of existence.

I am a user of moments

And have lived through not quite so many.

Nay- I don't use them well as others.

I may use them better than some.

Who knows?

I spend most of my moments watching

Or so I like to think.

It's not as if I count- though I count sometimes.

I count the stars, I count my wishes.

I count the dollars and the people and the mistakes I make.

I've been called a perfectionist.

I've been called obsessive.

But since I have no plan due to all the uncertainties...

My life won't be perfect.

I'm really just going through it all

Trying to do as the others do, and keep my head down.

I may not win

But I won't come in last.
