this text   i don't know what to do about it

i have to tell her   i want to tell her

but i can't see how she's going to understand   i don't understand

 

all these feelings welling up   i can't believe 

i'm feeling what i'm feeling   how   in the face of real

and true love   can i be feeling what i'm feeling

 

this is bad   this is going to change things 

i need to talk to someone 

get an outside opinion   yikes   this is bad

 

no   i'll just show her   she'll understand   won't she

would i    no   i need to take a walk   where's my mask

keta   i'm going for a walk   be back in an hour 

 

oh   yea   i forgot to tell you   i got a text from terri today

phone's on the kitchen table if you want to read it   love you

Oh, the ambivalence about the decisions we make in life. I, too, am caught up in the Hamletian "to be or not to be" situation as I read the poem. The opposing forces tugging at the speaker, but the final decision is made, and readers are left imagining the outcome. This is quite good, Jim. :)

Oh you've effectively left me on tenterhooks with this one! Now I find myself concerned for the main character, for Terri, and for Marketa. The tone feels ominous, like something big (maybe terrible) might be up. And I'm finding myself hoping it's not the case. Really like how you presented the moment leaving it to hang in the air... it also oozes with anxiety and worry which doesn't leave the reader indifferent. Please let us know what's going on with these 3 wonderful people soon. I eagerly look forward to it.
