2/30 So Why Try

Sometimes when I’m playing Tetris I leave small gaps when I could complete lines

I do this to keep from winning

 

Sometimes when I am cooking dinner I leave out one ingredient

I do this to see if I notice

 

Sometimes when I clean my house I leave one room messy

I do this to see if I really need anything in that pile

 

Sometimes I try to do something all the way correct

I do this to remember I couldn’t even if I tried
