A
Sort of Proposal
A few years ago
there might have been other options.
It hit me right in the stomach
at that moment.
I hadn’t yet decided –
I had to think about it over time.
If he’d given me just a minute more...
Normally, I was the perfect person
for this kind of reflection
on the spot
but I’d been working
around the clock of late.
I’m still considering my options.
What are the pros and cons?
We all take such matters
much too seriously.
