Choices and windows
I never looked
Ignorance maybe
Hubris
Indifference and hope possibly
Naive
Scared
Stupid
Angry
Mostly hopeful
But - windows without awareness
Can be flashes
Of horror
That make you realize
You were wrong
And you were kind of stupid
It’s a shame to feel like a fool
It’s a shame to risk
Only to retreat
It’s a flare of hope
That one look or word might
Make you
See it
But in actuality
All you have is that moment
