Twice
seems twice was two long
to think,
seems that “wisdom”
prevailed &
put up the road block between
said possible action &
the reality of
defeat in
retrospect---
what could’ve been
had but only one chance,
one possibility &
all the ifs, ands, ors &
buts,
left nothing in the seconds after
s/he walked away…
s/he walked away…
yes,
s/he walked away, denied,
leaving
the other party with
their proverbial pants
down, with all the time in the
world to ponder
just what this “wisdom” really is,
with blue balls,
with the bluest of
walls throbbing,
with dissatisfaction
taking its toll &
lingering viciously,
with oh,
a long night ahead.
