Poetry of Issue 9: SECOND CHANCE

SECOND CHANCE

There are some things

we only get one chance

to do right.

We can wish

we had another chance

to do it right,

this time.

Unfortunately,

this is not the way

the world works.

We can’t do it again

when we figure out

there was an alternative

we missed.

We don’t get a second chance

to see

what we might have done

when our vision was trapped in a cloud.
