You cannot predict 
the roads that life will lead you 
—if there are roads—down 

only accept that 
you become an example 
others may follow 

even as the tears 
accumulate in the cup 
somehow you finish 

and start another 
while your words if you send them 
reach a world away 

intertwining with 
all the ones you didn’t say 
the days of not yet 

you know already will be
