Does she have a year, a month?
Or does she have a day?
And if she knew
What would she change?
Would she dress in lurid purple?
Paint her hair a Day-Glo pink?
Would she throw all at this
Save the kitchen sink?
What would she say?
How would she think?
Would she retreat
To complete
Past regrets
Would she advance
To lay down
Brand new plans?
Would she tell you how she feels?
Would she show you what it means?
What would she change?
Given she cannot possibly say
A year, or a month, or a day
All that hinders these actions
Are pointless distractions
Used to defer and delay
So now tell me
What would she change?
