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
