Misdirection

I spent half my day grieving.
It’s been a hard week for so many.

Looking ahead to a dinner with
Two friends, I felt enervated, empty.

But I’ve been thinking about misdirection,
About that trick of magicians, pickpockets,
And Satan.

Grief is not joyful expectation
For a pleasant evening.

Thank God, I caught it in time.

Thank God, joyful expectation was the right response.
