At dVerse guest host Christopher is hosting Poetics with an invitation to write about choice.
dVerse Poets – Poetics – Choice
“Freedom would be not to choose between black and white but to abjure such prescribed choices.” Theodor W. Adorno
I Wonder Which Way? If only I could decide, decide I would though, I note, the cheshire cat held no particular view. A coin, a card, a fleece might do, but at some point the trolley bus comes for us all and, though it doesn't matter, one way or another the dilemma must be resolved or forever remain in stasis, immobile, arrested, atrophied, is it fear? We can only choose one way at a time, and go we must, but I wonder which way? Copyright 2022 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®️

Such internal conflict, angst and dilemma captured in this poem using a somewhat dreamy tone. I enjoyed reading it.

So is refusing to make a choice, a different choice, or is it like a Shroedinger’s Choice, one ?

It sure is a choice (btw, I’ve always mused that Shroedinger ignored glass boxes) 🙂

Always choose to be honest, balanced and aware in the moment, being true to that choice. You won’t go astray. Paul.

Sometimes I just let stuff happen. Usually works out fine.

Yes, and that is, indeed, a choice 🙂 Thank you for sharing Patricia.

Your poem reminds me of how much worse indecision is than making the hard choice, one way or the other.

Very well done, Paul. Some worry one and on but the real challenge comes in making the most of the choice we made.

Whatever path you choose influences all future choices. Still, there comes a moment to decide. Insightful poem, Paul! ❤
