Course Corrections

My compass is getting pretty old now.
Sometimes I tap on the glass
to make sure of the reading.

The needle doesn’t get bothered
by how often I do this.

The bargain seems to be
even if I ask redundant questions
it will keep suggesting true north.

Damn...

sounds like something you might hear one of your favored poets say. Bukowski comes to mind.
Another of those ones that I wished that I had written! ~ Geez.
