Clark Gormley #39 Category 5

something goes
wrong and you
think no sweat
I'm a well-
adjusted
calm composed
human I
will not let
this affect
my day

but while you're
thinking that
something else
goes awry
and you fly
into a
Category
5 rage

historic-
ally this
has led to
tension in
the shoulders
raised heart-rate
blood pressure
a flood of
expletives
and damage
to household
appliances

but while you're
in the eye
of the storm
you reflect
this is a
bit over
the top

however
you're para-
doxically
comforted
since there's a
famili-
arity
to these dark
and stormy
conditions

it happens
all the time

    keep a sharp lookout for what’s to come

  2. Worry is God's gift to the nervous.
    Best if kept bottled inside.
    I once knew a man who couldn't care less.
    He died. - Roger McGough
