The mind just reels the best case scenario.

Crafting a scenario that would lead to a chance

Of that number one thing we wanted

Even if the number one thing we wanted

Is no longer even that great

Our mind can’t help but write up a plan

just to keep it around

Keep it as a possibility

The stability

Of knowing all the possibilities

Still want me

May we never need to say still

Of course all the possibilities want me

breathing their life through me

We’re giggly and flirtatious with all possibilities

No one is committed to anything

We’re not scary and attacking one sole possibility

We cool

We’ve got a million other things going on

A million other possibilities floating around

The stupid

Implausible

Possibility

With the smallest ROI

Smallest chance of a good life

That one

We pump so much fucking energy into

Giving it breath

Keep alive a whole world for it

Just because it was that top dog favorite

A high priority deal

A favorite

An everything

What made it so important?

just the fact that it was the top dog contendor

the best possibility

and now it's slipping

floods of energy

We live life according to the barren small fact

Purposely living in alignment to the possibility

Living on a possibility

That the high priority possibility could still be afloat

We stop all sorts of actions

To keep the possibility breathing

We dance around for the possiblity

I set it all up

Purposely leaving so much blank

So that it’ll have to go

in the direction I want it to go

Comfort is only found

in a possibilities who aren't top dogs

The throwaway possibility

The only place we feel comfortable

But there’s no long term comfort in the throwaway

Because it isn’t your favorite place

It isn’t your home
