Shot

Sometimes you take a shot
And get lucky-
Everything fits and looks just right.

Other times the shot
Needs some editing, some revision-
Before it works according to plan.

Sometimes you simply miss
Completely, utterly, fully-
And are left with crumbled pieces.

But sometimes what you make
Out of the pieces, from the mess-
Is better than what you had hoped for.

Is better than what you had planned.
