new tune

Something went wrong inside of me. 
Now every time I do that thing 
how I'd normally do, it's reminding me:
Perhaps the old ways are not best, for you. 

Reminded, I twinge in wince and cringe, 
adjusting procedure in course-correct 
to the newest best way I have to do, 
in a move to bypass this training wreck. 

We accumulate tips and tricks like this, 
as by tics and degrees we go doddering. 
Adaptive and strong, we are well-taught things,
drawn taut and intent on each new-pulled string
as we bring ourselves ever more cautiously
to whatever this dance of ours shall bring.
