Perhaps
What does the future hold
What mysteries does it keep
Where does the road lead
Everyday we suspect what will happen
Like an eager reader with a mystery novel
We are astonished by the twists and turns
Perhaps tomorrow on your way to work
A job you no longer love
A place you no longer wish to be
Perhaps you will stop for a cup of coffee
An overpriced cardboard cup of motivation
You meet an amazing person in line
Agree to meet
Exchange numbers
Fall in love
Perhaps not
Perhaps instead of coffee you arrive early
A desperate attempt to avoid unemployment
A dreary slog through a misty morning
When you see the gunman you react
Leaping forward to stop him
He guns you down
Life blood oozing onto the sidewalk
Alone and cold
Perhaps not
Perhaps you stay out of sight
Remembering every detail
Keeping every note
The officer you report to is an old high school friend
You decide to get drinks and catch up
Rekindle an old friendship you never knew you missed
Realize there is more you can do with your life and quite your job
Perhaps not
Perhaps nothing extraordinary happens
Your day goes as planned
Your boss is angry you were late
Your day is awful
You go home and watch TV
With a frozen dinner
Alone
Bored
Stoned
But then again
Perhaps not
So What did you think? Head on over to my facebook and leave me your comments. I promise to write back.
