Some people will be chosen
for the job, the Wednesday night poker game
for the limited number of spaces
available in heaven. Only so many
spoons fit in one drawer your mother
would say
and the same is true for clothes
and closets
shelves and cans and let's be honest
hearts and loves.
I cannot love you because I love another
is a problem
that sometimes gets admitted
over wine
in a restaurant
filled with people choosing
this dish over that meat
choosing something that will fill
the middle of their beings
or leave them slavering like a cheetah
who missed and pass that
would you? and let's be friends. Yes
let's drink to being friends
and then we can all go on our way
remembering the best part
about being chosen is that
you do not have to stop
for anyone along the way.
