My New Favorite Poem!

The Moment of Indecision: I Squirm

It is like a crushing

Decide! Choose!

Pressing down and hard inside my lungs

In heavy-throbbing tremors

Decide-soon I’ll have to

Decide what follows the tassel-hat

The tassel-I- hate because

Parting sorrows are not sweet

They’re scary and these endings push me

Fast toward unmarked doors

And open futures, with open possibilities

Shifting as I squirm

And when I get to where I’m going

(and tell me where that is again?)

My question is, will I remain

Content to stay?

It is like a crushing

Decide! Choose!

And life is gonna knock soon

Wait a minute, let me dress

What do you want?
