each day
is a risk,
but the carrot
on that stick—
slender though it is—
is that each next
try might go five
percent better.
And you never
know: eventually,
you might wake
without fear;
you might complete
that thousand-piece
puzzle that is
your life;
before it's too late,
you may glimpse
the picture, and
let's face it:
you'd kill
for the chance
to see, at the last,
what it is
you were and
die entire.
