Decisions
Perhaps I will
Perhaps I won't
I had the will
And now I don't
The will for what
Gee, I don't know
A decision was not a place to go
Why do we sometimes say perhaps?
Do we expect the world to collapse?
If we decide on the spot, to say,
OK.
Sometimes a look of surprise,
In the other's eyes,
Who offered you the choice,
Rejoice,
If you decide straight away
To say yes,
I guess.
Perhaps, does not give a clue.
Of what you intend to do,
At a later date.
Perhaps your decision will be too late
Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps.
I would like to thank L Milton Hankins for the idea to write this poem.
I would not have thought of it if I had not read Milt's excellent poem
called "Perhaps" (Thank You, Milt)
