Losing It

It doesn’t rise to OCD, to check
again that tasks, on leaving home, are done.
I never left an iron on, to wreck
my place, but every now and then I’ll run
back to find power use or, what the heck,
a door unlocked? So most the time there’s none
amiss, but yesterday I let transpire
two hours out with heater still afire.
