do you dare to stay out? do you dare to go in? how much can you lose? how much can you win?
and if you go in, should you turn left or right… or right-and-three-quarters? or, maybe, not quite?
you can get so confused that you’ll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, i fear, toward a most useless place. the waiting place…
…for people just waiting. waiting for a train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for a yes or a no
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or another chance.
