MY MISSING KEY

I wish I could find
the missing key to my life.
I could set it
to help me when
I screw up or otherwise
Complicate my quiet life,
my simple smile.
I would like to set
the key on normal, or simple,
or regular to ease my way,
my soul’s churnings,
to restore equilibrium
to me again.
But what makes me think
that a setting such as normal or regular
even exists in my life. I wouldn’t recognize it;
would probably try to “fix” it before it
got out of hand
and felt too good!
