How To Fail How-To Book

What does it take,
What does it mean
To fail—for sure
To fail? Your heart,

Is that a rule?
If the heart fails,
And your life fails—
But no, that’s moot.

That’s not the way
To fail. That’s life.
The great fail that.
What’s a real fail?

Not quite a crime,
Not quite your crimes
Per se, but shame,
A shame you failed.
