**************

 i step out the door

left || right
right ||left

 and i try to decide
which way i want to go today
and am i hungry
or thirsty

food || drink
drink || food

 and what time is is
anyway?
maybe i ought to wait
a little while

now || later
later || now

 before i eat
in cause i want
to go swimming

swim ||stay
stay ||swim

 but what if there
are people
i don't like there?
i might want
to avoid them

encounter || avoid
avoid || encounter

 so i think about it

yes || no
no || yes

 and i decide to go inside
and sit
and maybe watch
a movie

comedy || drama
drama ||comedy

 at last
i just feel
so
so
tired

so i take a little
nap

over covers || under covers
under covers || over covers

 not
exactly
indecisive

yes i am || no i'm not
no i'm not || yes i am

 i just have
a little
trouble
making up my mind

simple things like deciding what to wear today, or what to drink, used to take hours. and i mean hours.
