temper like water

I thank and not thank the universe for 
my temper like water, cool and slow
to anger, boiling and vengeful.

I walk away from trouble when I can

detour; sometimes a U-turn, which
is not good:  someone always ends
losing a job, difficult in this country.

A day the universe conspires being

bad is few and quite far between,
but not so rare as not to happen.
What do you do when it comes

settle a moment on you?
