Clan Plan
by Al Smith
18 April 2010
Two phone calls: one of information
And a second one of expectation,
Clarification, explanation and examination
All to avoid the exasperation
Of cross-communication.
Whether or not we’ll be able
To match each other’s timetable,
Exploring each possibility
To the point of incontrovertibility
Coming up with a solution
And making a resolution
Of whether to go or stay
And what will work each day.
With my nephew’s move everything changed
Now my whole life’s become rearranged.
I used to always go there
Now everybody’s coming here.
Instead of making reservations
I don’t have to change locations.
It seems like in a blink
I’m having to rethink
And this paradigm shift
Leaves me a bit miffed.
In spite of feeling somewhat bemuddled
I want to make plans that won’t be scuttled.
