Maybes

give me a “maybe” 

I don’t expect anything else 

in these times of uncertainty 

nothing’s a safe bet 


until you know me 

take it on faith 

everything I appear to be 

is an incomplete take 


and a maybe 

ain’t less that I’d expect 

“strategize boldly; implement cautiously” 

that’s how I live 


eight billion others 

sisters and brothers 

all waiting to discover 

their own story 


I don’t need a thousand

or an even dozen

to keep all this love 

moving around me


sometimes I feel crazy 

like there are no friends left

and all is a struggle for money 

all is theft 


then I get to dreaming 

planning and scheming 

and reality is a maybe 

I’ve just left
