This
It took me years to write this.
'This' is such a tricky word to explore.
A short utterance yet such a long journey,
'This' is problematic,
in fact the very word 'problematic'
proves 'this.'
'This is never enough, it must be
stretched like a rubber band
until it squeaks or breaks
but now I am confident enough
to write 'this' in the full knowledge
that 'this' is it!
Now I must move on
with a firm resolve and determination
to the dangerous and deceptive
'That'
That being yet another thing.
