Poem -
If Only
Yes the “if only’ s” seem to persist for ever
As hovering wraithlike used-up dreams.
“if only” this or that
On such and such a day
Had varied by an hour or an inch
Or something neglected had been done
Or that something done had been neglected
Then “perhaps” the other might have been:
But then
“perhaps” and “if only” are first cousins
Addicted to survival only in our minds.
