Anything

anything could happen today
              i mull and sift through
                     likely possibilities
                  rule out the unlikely
settle upon the most reasonable

as usual I walk
take a longer route
still pondering 
how the day will unfold

unaware
of the passage of time
the day slips into afternoon

I am still speculating
planning eventualities
working out how to manage
the coming hours

time slips by unnoticed

it is evening
still anything is possible
anything could still surprise
take me unawares

I am yet more vigilant
watching for something

night falls
i ponder the endless possibilities

the odds of anything happening
tomorrow
