Worth Less Hindsight


Hold.. 
if you can... 
that second ...
you realize
it...is...too...late

where on the other side of 
this (that) instant, 
this (that) discovery
a useless epiphany
the unassailable understanding 
that this is (was) the end game...

Try to savor that broken fork... 
between jump and landing
between thought and action
digit and trigger
spark and tongue...
life and last exhalations ...

beyond the 11th hour
the descent begun
from twinkling to Nova
the last thrashing second...
the last thoughtless decision...
the last careless act...
where one final callously indifferent annoyance...
led to now... 

When you dare to whimper and demand of Karma 
"No but Wait!", 
Will the universe permit time for one last lesson
and allow you to Hold that...
that .... eternity
and ask yourself...

Were the seconds wasted
in judgement...
in hate and petty 'isms... 
worth it?
