Knowing What Comes Next
It’s why we watch a movie twice,
reread a book, walk the same route home.
The familiar calls,
comforts,
and sometimes it hurts.
So easy to default to bad habits;
what goes into our mouths,
what comes out of our mouths.
The choices we make,
who we are,
who we love,
the illusion of control in a random,
uncontrollable world where knowing
what comes next is the biggest illusion of all.
