If I do not express today,

My tomorrow will be less:

The otherwise of choice,

Of seldom sought and wary voice,

Of language lost and touch of no not yes.

. . .

A poem about my not conveying what I think and feel, of my restraint and inaction. At times my need to pause before I say results in opportunities, friendship, and lost love.

. . .

This poem forms part of the author's collected thoughts WITH AND ALONE.
