Just In Case

so much of that space,

of our lives for that matter,

just in case, something immediate

should happen

tissues just in case

a sneeze comes over us

a phone in case it rings

bringing us close to another

a bell to push

to bring assistance running

a basin for the oops

and a receptacle for the other
