You had plans
expectations
fought to bring them to fruition.
Imagine your surprise
when they were realized,
to find what you’d surmised
to be a paradise, what you fantasized
is actually a ruination
and your frustration forces a
mutation of
your plans.

I’m glad.
“Be careful of what you want, you just might get it.” So often true.
Yup.
