most of the poem feels like awkward words slammed together to confuse me, but then the last two lines come up, and it all seems perfectly combined to be profound...blind choices are made...
This was an old snippet in my notebook that I found & finished. From your description, I think I succeeded in my objective. It may not be great, but it is complete and, to my eyes, effective for what is trying to convey;-)
Thanks Lady A! This one has haunted me and refused to go away. I don't know if it's just stubbornness or that it I found something new whenever I crawled back in bed with it! ;-)
Choices are relegated to which birthday card to buy, what to cook, how much floor to vac/sweep. The rest is reading and writing. or where to visit again. Went ti John King Books yesterday - been choosing to go since 1968. Sci-fi of course.
hmmmm
