Conflict

By Marshall Gass

Both seamless in their searching
the inside and outside
my mind is bitter and bold
should I or should I not?
perpetually.

Seamless it only seems
Vegan or Bogan
this decision rages
milk or cocktails tonight
Is she shapely and sexy
or sad and drooping
the curtain of watching shuts
abruptly
the mind sizzles with answers
nobody watches

Should I go now or stay
should I write now or tomorrow
should I enter or not? what

Should I call or not
Chocolates or frocklettes
dinner or dancing
is he/she -man or woman?
whats this?
why am I always in indecision
at war within myself.
