life in retrospect

If I had dedicated

each year

of my life

to one letter

in the dictionary,

by now

I would have memorized the

meaning of all the words

in the dictionary.

I was asked to do so.

I did not do so.

it felt

tedious

impossible

pointless.

Today, when I look back,

It seems

easy

possible

and

for the lack of a better word

favorable.
