Choices

If i can't do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don't want
to do

but it's the best i can
do

what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i've got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want

Since i can't go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding

isn't lateral

what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal

alone among the animals
learns to cry — Nikki Giovanni
