This One Bet

Were I to explain

what then would I say …

That the moon loves its axis

that each dog has its day

That the question unanswered

most answered indeed

That each start an enigma

and truth often bleeds

That the mind unexplored

without mention at all

That from season to season

time stumbles and falls

Against my better nature

I’ll place this one bet

The answer you hoped for

— you’re never to get
