Despite the questionable end, the beginning has come.
Creating the fracture
with flippant opinions of what could work.
Defend no more than never saying otherwise.
If a bad decision made today benefitted some but not all of tomorrow,
and good decisions hurt a little less but not the same
the weights of the worst change
but remain negative.
Love extends to places,
spaces that informed
the forms that we take,
mistakes notwithstanding,
upstanding memories all,
falling farther distant,
like phone calls over generations,
now gravely like the roads that lead them through time.
The wishes of yesterday’s life will whisper achievements
yet we follow the urges to their outcomes.
After starting without expectations
then surprised by usefulness,
the words are left,
for the future to forget.
Selling fun makes friends but sets a duration
which once spent ends.
