You Decide

Is Fate on board?

(Are they pouring the wine?)
You decide

to be the bride
of Frankenstein
for a day—on board

with Fate, your lover, who’ll
barge in and make a row.
But just you decide

to duck and hide,
and you can draw the line
exactly where Fate is

standing to thumb a ride
on anybody’s motorboat
but yours—I hope you’ll decide

to simply pass Fate by
without letting him on.
Fate is the word.
You decide!
