City Hall- Uncertainty


I worked for 22 years as the Chief Financial Officer of Middletown Township, New Jersey.  






UNCERTAINTY
Copyright © 2010 by Robert A. Roth

What am I doing?
I’m up and down, seesawing.
Where’s right and where’s left?

Shivering with sweats.
Perplexed by what I should do.
Can’t tell hot from cold.

Gasping.  Smothering.
Flailing at all around me.
Breathless.  Panicky.

Can I overcome
this tsunami of self doubt?
What am I about?

I’ll fall.  I’m afraid.
Can I reach out for a straw?
How can I be sure?
