Some days are strewn
with oughts
and pending obligations;
others with
ought-to-have—
ought-not-to-have
must-do
have-to
need-to
better-not
maybe
maybe-not.
Then on quieter days it\'s
what-if
why-not
if-only
what-might-have-been.
forget-me-not
has seen better days,
then again—
perhaps,
perchance
oughts
have become
noughts
or neighs
time\'s up—
just do it—
let\'s dance!
