Probabilities

'Wait'
'Maybe Next Time'

Next time,
I may be a sliver of wood
in the breakfast table you eat on.

I may be a block of concrete
in the building you go to work at.

I may be a dandelion
you suffocate under your feet.

I may be any breeze
on any day.

I may be a thread of cotton
in the sheets you sleep on.

I may be the dog or cat
you put out of the room.

I may be the person you meet
in passing
that you wish you never passed.

I may be the gold
in your wedding band.
