Raspy Choice

When a decision comes from miles away
And clarity does not approach
Vocal chords refuse to play
A tune beyond reproach

For making sense of places gone
Dr. Seuss can't offer much
Failing that a whispered song
The places crossed as such

Wavering tones of indecision
Cresting waving rhythmic gait
Clamoring brings not precision
Callous seeming frothy grate

Wind pipe cleaner tears the walls
Bloody nose of altitude
Leaning fall a stumble crawl
One word of attitude
