The Unchosen Choice

text from mom
shrimp skewers
and stuffed venison
steaks

two hours of driving
is it worth it?
what will I miss?

what if some great
occurence occurs
and Im not there

or worse what if
Im there
but the occurence
in fact
does not occur

How did I get
so indecisive
and afraid
of interaction

afraid to do
anything, afraid
of choices, more
specifically, the
unchosen choice

Im sure Ill just
sit at home
waiting…
just waiting…

    I can't be sure, but I'll bet it's those unchosen ones that come back to bite us in the ass. I hope you're in your car driving toward those shrimp skewers as I'm writing this. xoxo

    Good poem, maybe tie a cord around your ankle, and tie the other end to a friend and let let them do the thinking for a few weeks.
