to start over. So many people
I'll never be, things I won't do.
Why list them? Soon the years ahead
will be too few to maneuver among
and I won't be able to lie, even to myself.

not in the spaciousness of possibility,
but in limitation. And isn't this good?
To say, "Yes, I haven't. That's right, I never did."
~ Carole Glasser Langille
