Echoes
"choices echo forever"
words that well also be forever
it was such a random encounter
just a accidental conversation
was it even a conversation?

"choices" have always been.

the important ones,
that consume our thoughts.
the simple ones,
that we don't even recognize.
they change our lives.

"choices echo" through our lives

echoes barely noticeable
when we think we were right.
deafening
when we think we were
wrong.
echoes easily heard,
when we are alone

"choices echo forever"

even when forgotten
the reasons for them unknown
the important ones held on to
the simpler ones relinquished.
at times the simpler,
were the most important.

like responding
to a simple comment,
that wasn't really simple.
it wasn't really even
a conversation.
