no do overs

pause.
rewind.
find that button!
relive one moment
make that other choice
take that other path.

see
around the corner
with fresh eyes
wise eyes
eyes not clouded by youth

it's simply not allowed
out of bounds
it isn't on the menu
no column a
no column b
no substitutions please
all sales are final
was that your final answer?
some things aren't meant to be

why can't i have a do over?
where is that second chance?
can't i just take it back?
put it back
on the shelf?
did i even get a receipt for
that choice?
that move?
that decision?

does anyone have
an eraser?

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
