Decisions

I’ve made up my mind. Well, very nearly.

How was I so blind that I couldn’t see clearly?

Why wasn’t it obvious – glaringly so –

that the choice I’ve made was the right way to go?

What was it, I wonder, that made me unable

to see Option A was the best on the table?

It’s true, I’d concede, that to follow this track

means spurning all others; there’s no turning back.

And yes, it’s a pity I’ll never find out

how things might have been; but no room for doubt.

Though, oddly, I find I’m beginning to see

there’s a lot to be said for Option B,

the one I rejected so cavalierly . . .

But I’ve made up my mind. Well, very nearly.
