only minutes
a fruitless exercise
decided and banked on
i left another number
i crept in place only to notice
recall solutions in waning moments
another missed
connection only
best numbers left uncalled
i can't credit
perhaps filtering or a better
filtered process
would generate an outcome you could live with
i left my drooped eyes
i didn't wonder aloud
i cried alone another night
a less than accurate confession
pretend my life is none than other
i waited.
