Moment of Truth

Nothing ever goes as it is planned.
Nothing ever goes as it ought to.
Instead, it has a tendency to go sideways,
Which would be off the rails,
Maybe even beyond the pale,
Or under the radar, out of control,
Over the moon–best case, off the wall.
Eventually, everything snowballs downhill.
It takes a while to soak through my density with what's wrong,
and I'll do something, anything, to get back where we belong.
Then you'll recognize
The look in my eye
When I'm about to try something insanely desperate, desperately insane,

Except you won't,
Because I never showed it to you before.
