Could Have Been Worse


It rests there: a smoking, wrecked ruin. But you are there to see it, at least. You think you should care a bit more that it crashed and burned, but you are so tired that you can't think about it, much less feel anything yet. Before this result, you actually thought it might work, magical thinking that you have been so good at. You didn't listen to the voices that told you how wrong you were in your hopes. You trusted that, somehow, it would turn out, that you would find the reciprocity you imagined. Oh well... you did what you could. Your mistake was that you never learned how to dance left-footed, legally blind, almost deaf, one hand tied behind your back.
