Just For Today
They gave me a pamphlet
Small and white and marked
With a square in a circle
(like me with pegs)
No key ring
There were not enough
See how popular the group has grown
And they hugged me
One by one, almost
I tried so hard not to be tense
Keep coming back
They said
Confirming my worth
Unnecessarily (I know it)
I would have liked a key ring
Look how brave I am
And at the end
We held hands
Chanted words of strength and fellowship
I felt like a phony
What right had I to join the circle?
A square in a circle
(keep coming back)
I cried that night
Alone with my pillows
Circle-less
Restore me to sanity
One night, maybe two
No commitment, please!
It’s just for today
(welcome back)
