i almost made a pact tonight.
for two full seconds
i had the courage
i had the stamina
i had the self-respect
to promise to be,
one day, sometime soon,
learnedly self-sustainable.
"i have no one,"
i said.
"i will rely on no one.
i will love myself,"
i said.
"i will be content at that."
but the moment passed
and it was just me,
lonely solitary,
forgetting to slow down at a stop sign.
