Pea Pods

some mistakes are seasonal
like chewing on inedible pea pods
we didn’t think to shuck them

I shouldn’t stand in judgment
too eager—
too eager for a seat

I just can’t seem to wait
my turn
this dust of which we’re made
this urn
that’s filled up to the lip
and still can’t seem to drip

the water, the earth, the sky
the cycle of day and night
the sun doesn’t make mistakes
but I am the daughter
