If at first
you don’t make it
Failure may just
be your style
No
Not your fashion
Failure may just
be your soulmate
She is bad
No
Not as bad
As you once imagined
Not as pitiful
As you once dreaded
She’s always there
For one thing
She answers “yes”
Every time you ask
Her tailoring may
may not be crisp
Not the cuts
that you so much cherished
Not the swag
that you admired
But she’ll give you a hug
a hickey
She’ll find you a lounge
a lesson
And when you open
the caverns
of your heart
She gives up her top
secret
the private lives
of the men she courted
Success is not
the medal you sought
It’s certainly not
the end of the journey
Success is the
journey
You win
when you are primed
for another
blind date
You win
when you lose
that thing
That fear of finding
that failure
is once again
your blind date
