    wrote before your contest prewrite

    Passion and ambivalence
    now there is the nub of the rub
    the old line about" never
    making anyone a priority
    when you for them are just
    an option."

    But there is safety in ambivalences.
    wanting the passion
    afraid to commit
    fearing it will all go
    so terribly wrong
    again.

    to my numbed and cynical mind
    I suspect
    that is why sky divers
    hold hands when jumping
    no one
    wants to jump first

    I am not sure where the difference lies.
    Shakespeare would remind us
    that poetry lies in the eye
    of the beholder

    I find poetry in the oddest places,
    the twelve turkeys that I keep
    mistaking my voice for their mothers peep
    flocking to me in pure joy

    but also come thanksgiving
    one will find them self missing
    the cost of taking a leap of faith
    I suppose
