SUCH ADVICE

second-guessing at this point in time

is a futile exercise in what if... and if only...


an excuse to fray oneself or to have others

unload their envy or their resentments


every mistake in life is 'fatal'

there are no second chances


just the gatherings of consequence

to face the next thing careening down


the pike at you

and at this point in time


with grace a fairy tale and retribution assured

what would one do but face the constant incoming grief


to the end and know advice anyone could give you

is like medicine after the funeral...
