Find Out on a Limb

Today I told my sister

“Eh, don’t overthink it
You have to look around
if you want to find out anyway
Some people don’t bother
and wind up wondering, ‘What if?’”

Today I told myself

“Not choosing is still a choice”
“Look forward to change”
“Choose or don’t choose but there is no do over”
And curse the fig tree even when it fruits
for first fruits are hung from precarious perches
