Do you remember the Game of Life?
Spin the dial & move your piece forward on the path,
go to college, get a job, have a baby.
Or the cereal?
The one that Mikey liked, and he hates everything.
Little faux basketweave squares, with subtle sparkles of sugar.
Both relegated to distant memory as real life moved on.
Rarely in ways I could have anticipated.
Usually while I was making other plans.
It’s almost enough to keep one from planning at all.
But we do.
Making necessary course adjustments as we go.
