A decision
An excerpt from a larger poem
That I'm not done with yet.
"I think that love is a decision we make.
Sometimes we don’t remember making it
Some wrong turn we made getting from here to there
Sometimes it’s a dead end.
Good decisions and great intentions can bring bad results
when the moment isn’t right
and you’re in the wrong light
And she’s only looking for someone to love
Terribly
For a couple years.
Again, I think love is a decision.
Sometimes it’s end all and the be all of a lonely trip.
Sometimes it’s what happens after you trip and fall
For some good looking person of the correct sex.
Don’t want to upset any in the audience.
Though I can’t imagine wearing comfortable shoes.
Or dining at the blue oyster club.
Somebody here has watched police academy."
