i know better.
i always know better.
you name it, i know better,
and yet....
i do learn from my mistakes, just not very quickly.
perhaps there are nuances
i have not recongized
in some of my mistakes,
so i am giving myself
the opportunity
to grasp the subtle details.
or maybe i'm just stoopid.
whatever the reason,
i continue to give
repeat performances
of my greatest, and
lamest, mistakes;
and always my response,
once the dust has settled
and i'm sitting red-faced
in my corner, stupified
to know i have done it again:
i know better.

i always know better.

so. what.
