What Need Not Have Happened Did

Things already happened have lost their shockproof mechanisms The living are all done with the surprise of you. Who hurt me? I hurt me. Falling into it in the open mouth of night. Trip-wire daylight, the falling backward motion of progress. Many a time wanting to let it happen challenging it from a reckless need. The ‘it’ is a multiscreen cinema, a bifurcation where choice is a haze behind the eyes. Sometimes, only seeing it come after it as gone. Still and all, it happened, The ‘needn’t’ was never an option. I am glad to see the inevitability of now. The only question worth asking is: was it worth it?
