it's as simple as all that
i want to say. then don't
say a word. no word no
reality. no reality no end
no acknowledgment of if
if
if
if
if
if
it is all an if: if i had woken up earlier, said yes, said no, said no then said yes
we are coded: with hypotheticals that are never meant to play out and yet they
are -
swarmed into existence
let go into the breeze awaited
as if the outcome would
cause time to stop or pick
up in pace. neither occurs
such clarity is ours if only
only
if
if
if
