There is a chance
this could happen
So let’s plan every contingency NOW
my brain says

There is a chance
this could happen
so let’s plan what to do and when to do it
and what to wear while I do it
and even what else I could wear
while I do it
as if it is a sure thing
my brain says

This is a skill
I tell myself
That comes in handy
for emergencies
hurricanes, and the like
but today,
please, brain
can we just live in the moment
and enjoy the sunshine
this weekend?
