Decisions about Indecision

Places
are where people are from,
or perhaps going,
but signs often unclear
keep those that know
from knowing.

Chance
orchestrator of decisions
often precedes a false start —
even the student of stars
admits that uncertainty may alter
the best-designed chart.

A demand
to be exactly right with choices
affecting future years
complicates free will
and compromises tomorrow
with present-day fears.

A point
well to remember is that
I am the master of my indecision
and lack of perfection —
to be any less
would be a slave to unclear signs,
and this in itself
ensures a positive direction.
