The Decision

is as big as it comes.
The consequences
cast a shadow on
future years. Yes,
they may have taken
an inadvisable path.
Yes, they may have
done things that are
unthinkable but can
you really know if
they were there.
Can you be sure that
there isn’t something
else in the picture that
you cannot see. Something
that would paint white
over black. Something
that would, in future times
place them on a sofa
rather than a chair.
