Here's to Half-Hoping
Resting your head on the side of the bathtub,
Half-hoping you won't fall asleep and slip under the water.
Walking into the street without looking both ways,
Half-hoping you won't be hit by a car or some other vehicle.
Running down the stairs, taking them two at a time,
Half-hoping you won't trip and fall all the way, all the way down.
Turning off the oven after cooking your dinner,
Half-hoping the gas hasn't leaked and isn't filling your entire house.
Leaving a candle lit for a moment as you leave the room,
Half-hoping it won't fall over and set your bookshelf ablaze.
Doing any number of seemingly monotonous chores,
And half-hoping your mind won't hope for the dreadful way it could
end.
I'm half-hoping once again
