What To Do



without hesitation
or judgement
or shame

I knew what to do
and did it

conclusive options
lined up like candies
each with a secret center
that would be...

worthless
tasteless
or...

perfect.

and this time...
i saw it

i ate it.

how a chocolatier's eyes
see and Know
if only by drizzled embellishment
so my gut, finally
knew exactly what to do

wondering if this is a metaphor, or if you bit into every single candy until you found the perfect one.

but I think this is a metaphor.

and I want to know more...
