In his
indecision
he changed
again
Only to
become more
of what he had
— never been
(Dreamsleep: January, 2025)
I think about you every day.
It hurts to leave.
It hurts to stay.
If you knew I'm not ok.
Maybe then I would choose to stay.
Listen to poem:
Decision time is up,
a once-over review
prompts déjà vu,
a pause to think twice through.
For thinking once
is merely enough.
Who am I?
Am I a figment of color
On a background of noise?
Am I an indecision?
What an I?
An idea lined by words?
Unknown.
Laziness, procrastination, and indecision are failure's mightiest allies!

standing on the brink
of eternity
I put back the blade
of indecision
to read the word again
Form:
Playing footsie
with the past
my toes became
entangled
With every fawned
and misplaced
step
— my indecision walked
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Preparing a most daring dare,
Of pinning a tail to a bear,
He just couldn’t choose
Which tail type to use,
And thought best to leave matters there.
Indecision makes
Put on hold the decisions
That need to be made
Postergating the actions
Delaying the life deserved

There's No System
Now There's A System
There's. NO System
NOW There's A System
There'z. NO System
NOW There'z A System...

Weighed the risks of indecision
Not choosing one way or the another
~ yet somehow getting nowhere fast

Leonard Cohen
Was A Soothe-Sayer.
He Could Just
Smell It.
Unless I Took A
Wrong Quantum
Indecision To
This Sacred Heart.

no true destiny
just anywhere else
penned the sign
backpack will travel
cars honked
many smiles
some waved
I felt like I was drowning
perhaps in a sea of indecision?
When seasons glide along life's dream
to raise the kiln of compassion...
a healing smile, a touch agleam
can nourish hearts' indecision
my students... flamed with a vision!
Live life to the full
shivering and dull
Time to make a change
feeling more deranged
Who am I at all
brace for a fall
Ask a silly question
one more decision
Make it
break it
Ambivalence and anxiety
Motivate or moot?
Benefit or blockage?
Intensify internal indecision
Trajectory or tranquility?
Inquire into impassivity
Observe oasis
Noble nonchalance noteworthy
on the
fence
always
lived
one foot in
one foot
outside of
the box
inter-changeable
behaviors
unstable motivational
changes
indecisive indecision
unclear clarity
clear as mud
When Indecision
Is with you,
Let Patience,
Out weigh the thought.
The time you find,
You can’t make up your mind,
Then decision should
Be made not!
Florence McMillian (Flo)
trapped in the open yet free within
our fickle attention oscillates
moment to moment
we waver in indecision
on where we choose to dwell
so invoking the power to bilocate
we opt to have the cake and eat it too
Sometimes(now) I dislike
(hate) indecision
many fates //now//spill
horrified goldfish meeting
air/myopic eyes; live cataract-like
but still & now I unlike
that Inde-CISION cuts me
through the ghost-bone
:: ~ ::
Would you but sing to me,
A song of high ambition.
My mind being elevated,
I climbed aboard a vision.
Flying high above mediocrity,
There's been no indecision.
A purpose driven life,
Will always be my mission.
in the sinews of my mind
there's not much place for logic
the heart rules with an iron fist
and passions stirred do simmer
i don't care much for chaos
but these are the cards i'm dealt

I'm flexible by indecision,
Nothing came to fruition,
I'm really quite a dither,
In verse I do blither,
Still, I'll finish this book,
Hope readers take a look,
What to write next? I ask,
Ah, decisions, that's my task!
She had been stalked
Dark thoughts draped in silence
Ranting
Gnawing
Suckling
At the breast of doubt
Whimpering
In the shadowed suffering
Of idled indecision
Held hostage
By the blank page

My bewilderment warily moves
Near the spidery trails of indecision
Over cold shadowed peaks of unanswered query
Pulses surge well within the valley of a spirit lost
Where roots ever forge toward the fiery heart of Mother Earth
