bathed in "not yet"
clothed in uncertainty
perfumed with pinpointed doubt
primped with "time will tell"
and when time speaks, it'll be grand
your mother will be proud, finally
and curiosity will die out
as you take your desk job

I am left staring at a singular wall, its paneling abrasive, familiar. I reach out(it shivers); "Why?"
And I'm left with the unforgiving floor again.
