Decision

Decisions pondered at night are best made in the light of day.  Sometimes, then, we find they are not even our decisions to make.  It's amazing what a little sun will do.

At 2 A.M.

I realize I have settled

Too soon

On a decision.

It is not even

My decision

Really.

At 2 A.M.,

In the dark,

I think of so many

Different decisions,

Even permutations

Of decisions.

All this energy

On a small decision

In the middle of the night,

But really early morning.

A small decision fills the space

At 2 A.M.

It is not even mine

To make.
