here or there
there has more to offer
than here
though some may doubt it
here we have this
while there they have that
it must be said
that sometimes
the reverse is true
put another way
two is better than one
except when isn't
sometimes it is
one can never be sure
unless one can
it becomes very hard
to choose between
this and that
when that and this
(or even there and here)
look equally appealing
or unappealing
or somewhere in between
flip a coin
draw straws
that never works
it's rarely black or white
or white or black
though sometimes it is
sometimes it's gray
first you see it one way
then the other
sometimes it's too dark to see
sometimes it's blue
how is one to choose
choose the least worst option
choose the best option
let someone else choose
choose nothing
let life dictate the outcome
if no answer is right
perhaps the question is wrong
if the question is wrong
then what
if the question is right
the choice may be neither
or both
or some of each
if one must choose
and cannot
return to it later
sleep on it
procrastinate
pretend there isn't a choice to make
some (people)
are decisive
wrong or right they choose
which is fine
when it's fine
often it isn't
sometimes it matters
to me
or to you
or neither
or both
so
la ti da
and there you go
or da ti la
and here you go
here or there
i'd like know
