ok
i have to admit
in one area
i’ve really lied
she picked up
that i think
she’s pretty crap
at organising things
she organised me
a public night of songbirds
i travelled the seas
and when i arrived
and they were dead
all dead
she’d not thought
that one person’s promise
the critical person on the critical path
might not be kept
not organising backup
an emergancy plan
for that matter
admiring other people’s incompetence
is not the mark
of an organiser
i’m not that hot
i have the habit
of
when someone needs confidence
letting myself depend on them
putting their needs
before the thing being organised
but i know the fault
why do you think
i rarely organise things
and yes
profuse apologies
were given and accepted
by if you don’t admit your errors
you don’t learn from your mistakes
and if you don’t accept criticism
then you don’t admit your errors
and if you tell other people off
for their critical attitude
it suggests
you don’t accept their criticism
let the facts speak
not me
the problem is inexperience
accept it
adapt to it
