Semi-Daily Scribbles

What is it you've had to settle for, if ever, or have you always gotten your way?
If the dust clears,
If the fog thickens:
Did you make the right call?
Were there no other choices at all?

Those memorized lines and well-rehearsed gestures
Have flung you so far afield of your dreams
The golden thread is severed
The road awash in yellow is gone.

Content.
Intent.
Are you and I content?

Select your answer with care.
