Notes About The Poem

Stacking odds in your favour

being easygoing has its advantages
but a framing of how life is processed
helps establish rules of conduct
when relationships are in the making

clarify expectations
say what you mean 
and mean what you say.

clarity of ideas
well expressed thoughts 
precision of words

understanding what works 
and what doesn’t ~
life not a crap shoot
improve the odds
take charge
be in the driver’s seat
