Standing alone,
choosing alone,
no dial tone,
seems the last moments
will bend forever
the opportunity
to glance ahead,
beyond the scrutiny
deeply laid inside the victim’s head.
and then …
There is the question of whose hurt
is more measurable,
the choice,
or the outcome,
the afterward,
or perhaps it is the originator,
who by virtue of the human condition,
isn’t given any allowance
to return the favor of knowledge.
We just know the outcome.
