Every time I dress you up
in a future imagining,
I remind myself
that you are a mystery
I cannot plot.
But my nature is not easily thwarted,
it’s in a rush
to see how it all turns out.
It believes it can design you
and watch as you catch up
to yourself.
So forgive me
my arrogance.
I am trying hard
to stay still
and watch your marvelous
unpredictability
unfold.
