you want to connect the dots
fill the spaces
you hesitate
you start talking
and then you keep quiet
you decide not to
i am old enough
to know that my dots
are not connected
i am young enough
to not want them connected
i am old enough
to be in a position
to connect another's dots
i am young enough
to not want to
connect their dots either
life
it needs to play out
choice and consequence
cause and effect
beautiful
in a veiled way
