sometimes
if you
keep your eyes
open
and are
very lucky
you find
an avenue
of escape
from mistakes
in the past
an intertidal zone
of opportunity
for second stage
second hand
second chance
love
possiblity
to rewrite
your future
sometimes though
this makes
for
unhappy bystanders
unable to escape
tainted pasts
or correct
mistakes
in the future
stuck
in sorry sameness
sometimes
if you
keep your eyes
open
and are
very lucky
you may find it too
and if you are
really lucky
you might even
realize
you
deserve it
