Sometimes
By Warren Woessner
I sit in my car
and can’t decide where to go.
What will be there
at the there I choose?
Do I look for the loon
or hunt the hawk?
Or just sit here
until the hawk leaves its tree
for a better tree
and the loon makes its last dive,
and both just disappear
without a wish or a way
to let me know
that it doesn’t matter
what I choose.
