No Applause Poetry
This poem was written with K in mind. She and I were at our Plummer apartment getting ready for bed and she was trying to decide what kind of medication to take.

Decide

Decide! Decide!
Just make up your mind!
You’re running out of time.
Is this problem so big?

Quit walking the fence
you wishy-washy pig.

Have you no sense at all?
It’s not like you’ll die.

Just make up your mind!

Decide! Decide!

——————————–

OK, just wait!

Let me think this thing through.

It’s either one or the other
or both of them together
or, God! I don’t know!
I can’t make up my mind!

Just tell me what to do
…and then I’ll decide.

Is that ok with you?
