slept past my stop
forgot to get a transfer
front and center at the foot of the altar
cathedral stained glass sunbeam
illuminating Our Lady of What Might Have Been
pinching rosary beads for what will never be
praying Patron Saint of Potential Unfulfilled
racking up credits
on a pinball machine in a dream
feeding the feedback loop
shoulda-coulda monster under the bed
waiting hibernating
another late night visit from the Regret Fairy
pillow sprinkled with magic indecision dust
hocus pocus
can’t say no
afraid to say yes
the fence makes the grass look greener
hard deadlines all in my mind
arbitrary expiration dates
best if used by 1997
commitment contract concession
giving up unlimited nights & weekends
offering anytime minutes anytime
replay relationship conversation
you
me
us
we
never said
it goes without saying
