CHOICE

 

Great Aunt Mabel, who was thin and

As sharp as four needles

Married soft, kind-hearted Azie

This was fortunate. Had she chosen Joe,

My grandfather -- a  twice-bitten soul

Who reserved always the option

Of turning sideways and disappearing --

Great cities might now be dust and smoke.
