The Reckless Choice
"I shall set forth for somewhere.
I shall make the reckless choice..."
Frost
I saw a woman 'of a certain age', as they say,
Riding a bike in the center of town, -
I said to myself - 'write that down' -
I also will make the reckless choice some day.
I'll travel in style to Tel Aviv -
And walk for miles by the Mediterranean -
I'll dance in a show with joie de vivre -
Or take a class in the artifacts of Mesopotania.
I'll spend a fabulous summer in Atlantic City,
Where I'll walk the boardwalk and take in the ocean,
I may try a casino on a wild notion -
Or get my photo taken on the beach "sitting pretty".
Whatever I don't do, I'll write in a sonnet -
Which is almost as good as acting upon it.
