Let Me Be Clear, -Mis
I have made mistakes.
I have mislaid my keys.
In a moment of wild abandon,
I have misappropriated the rent money.
I have misattributed
a smart thought to myself
and mishandled important conversations.
I have missed the bus, and twice, my plane.
I have misaligned my loyalties
and the decimal in my checkbook ledger.
I have mis-stepped and landed on my face ~
literally and figuratively.
Yet, -mis, you miscreant,
Upon one event
your language misconstrues:
I did not miscarry my baby.
