Opportunity

ˌäpərˈt(y)o͞onədē

i live suspended

i live suspended
twisting between danger and
opportunity

i opened my eyes
and atop this barricade
saw lights for my way

that which blocks my path
is often just a signpost
to a better path

a queen-pawn exchange
is not really a blunder
if it wins the game

in my other life
i do not wait for chances
but instead take them

opportunity
walks around in overalls
and resembles work

kiss me while you can
because we are not getting
out of this alive

you won't go far wrong
by saying out loud the things
that don't need saying
