I didn’t think about it. Did I? I didn’t think it through. Really, I wasn’t thinking about it at all. Wasn’t giving it any thought. Didn’t give it a second glance. Never gave it a first. Now, it’s here. It’s all I think about. It’s all I do.
Roll it on my tongue like french.
Curl it one-handed like flex.
Pull it down to my toes like stretch.
Soon I’ll hand it over, pass it down, and on it will go to the next. Pay it forward they said — just not about this.
