Poem: It Doesn't Matter

It doesn't matter how well you plan,
though planning is important.

Last minute unforeseen details 

force adaptability.

It doesn't matter how much you research,

though researching is important.

Last minute unforeseen minutae
force contiguity.

It doesn't matter how well you prepare,

though preparing is important.
Last minute unforeseen disasters
force flexibility.

All that really matters? 

Fortitude.
