The universe is testing me
It did not inquire
When there was plenty
Of opportunity
It picked the right timing
That it could not be
Rather unmistakably
More unfitting
Had I been asked before
I would have been certain
About my answer
But now I am bewildered
How am I to dismiss
When each time
The suspension is tempting
How can it come to an end
When soon enough
Never seems to arrive late
A clash with the universe
As it forces me to reassess
The choices
I am about to make
When really
I should not be
Doubting
Even for just a second.

The universe is testing me
It did not inquire
When there was plenty
Of opportunity

That it could not be
Rather unmistakably

Had I been asked before

About my answer
But now I am bewildered
How am I to dismiss
When each time
The suspension is tempting
How can it come to an end
When soon enough
Never seems to arrive late
A clash with the universe
As it forces me to reassess
The choices
I am about to make
When really
I should not be
Doubting
Even for just a second.
