Different Plans

I don't know how long
I can do this, he said
I think the universe
has different plans
for me

& we sat there in silence

& I thought to myself
that this is the thing
we all come to
& this is the thing
we all fight
& if we are lucky
enough to lose,
our lives
become beautiful
with mystery
again

& I sat there silent
because that is not
something
that can be said

  3. poetry like this makes me want to sit and soak and sit and soak some more. but then when I try and do it, I get antsy, like there should be something else. I'm just not satisfied unless I'm doing dishes too.
