every ctrl-alt-delete contains the possibility of what could have been

and maybe that scenario is playing out in another dimension

so there’s the possibility, however slight,

that i might be talented and successful

or that i might have followed thru

and learned Korean and become some sort of ambassador for Pepsi or Redbull in Seoul

but i guess we’ll never know

since the current version of me hit those

three conveniently placed buttons dangling like a participle pleasantly fighting through the Halloween decorations that weren’t taken down from two years ago

and the call to action went to voicemail
