Second Guesses

My keys, I have them right? Oh, but of course

How else would my car's engine roar along?

My phone, do I have that? I had to force

Myself to leave it be when tweeted. Wrong,

So wrong, this second-guessing, but it can't

Be helped. An active brain will always chew

On what it has available; if scant

Is fed to it, its own substance will do.

Garage door -- surely closed -- but better check.

That pocket bulge is just your wallet, though

Best make sure it's not out there on the deck

Or on the kitchen table still. You know,

Self-trust seems most elusive when one must

Prepare for something special. All is dust.
