The Plan

An interviewer asked me
where I see myself
at retirement
I laughed
as if the future
were guaranteed
as if what's to come
weren't uncertain
as it has always been
only hindsight
offers assurance
offers order

Besides
in recovery
the oldtimers teach you
very deliberately
not to plan
to take it as it comes
to take it
one day at a time
one hour at a time
one step at a time
slice it small enough
you can handle anything
