Am I unfounded
Or do I un-find things?
Can you lose lessons?
Do they fall out of you
Like an over-filled slot machine
When you learn too many of them?
When you lose track of time
How do you get it back?
Quantum leap it
Or pull a Doc Brown?
What is “back on track”
If your track goes several directions?
We all can get philosophical
And ask the “what if”s too often to count
I’ve been told in several ways
In many situations
To evict fear from my body
And yet it creeps back in shortly following eviction.
Several times over
There are breathes, and then
There are decisions
Which carve your route, and yet
Train tracks take years to build.
Why do I hold shame for my unfinished path?
