Adjustment

Making the next adjustment. Then the next one.

Adjustment takes tears

Many tears

Looking out the window

At the 92 year old colleague

Getting in

To drive his car

Watching him pull out

Of the parking lot.

Adjustment takes a lot

Of why me?

Then why not me?

Then

Why me, once more?

Then come the tears.

Finally again

The figuring out

What comes next,

And next

And next again.

Then more tears.

Then

The next thing.
