Trial and Error

16 04 2011

Would you just look
At the mess you’re making here?
Every word that comes out of your mouth,
Hits the floor, breaks into shards
Each with a different destination in mind;
None eventually hitting the mark.

You hop, skip, jump,
Make sloppy little pirouettes,
Spin around me like a moon with a wonky orbit;
Comfortably apart one second,
Millimeters away from colliding the next.

Yet, I know you pose no harm.
If you truly knew how to conduct
This bizarre symphony of yours,
I’d be concerned.

But trial and error
Can make a chimp
Look like a genius sometimes.

For some,
its a trial, and trial, and trial again…
Because Someone,
a long time ago,
at creation,
forgot
some connections.

But the mother connects,
with
the chaos,
the trying,
the throwing of words,
the breaking;

Despite
the trial and error
lifestyle,
for her,
he has always been,
The Genius !

I love this very much! Didn’t think it was about a child at first, though. :D
