Expectations

Did you know what was going to happen

 when it did

 how candid

 were the words

 that you heard

 make a sentence?

 I expect the unexpected

 to avoid being rejected

 of preconceived thoughts

 that I bought

 at the nickel and dime store.

 Today I sigh when I think

 how close to the brink

 of insanity

 and maybe

 too close to the coo-coo’s nest I am.
