It is a thought, and it is my first today,
of possibilities that were not probable.
When did expressing your beliefs
become so fraught?
Will tensions subside considering
random solutions to potential puzzles
at a point where there appears to be
little or nothing to show for a life
overshadowed by common temptations,
an uncommon incompetence, carefree
curiosity, occasionally irrational impulses
on a rational, even logical, path.
Satisfaction: you only know it
when it finds you. It is illusive, only
because what you believe you want
is not always there.
