In Answer To Your Question (Prose Poem) by Dovina

Suppose I tell you I love you no matter what you do, that nothing you can do will make my love go away? Suppose I tell you I keep no logs of cruelties, broken promises, abuses, past or future? What if I tell you you can run to the ends of the earth and do the most horrible, unthinkable things, and if you come back, I’ll receive you with tears and a party? Suppose I say you don’t have to put on a mask, and it’s okay to be anything you are and I will never punish you, and when you mess up, I will never nag? What if you know my love isn’t based on how little wrong you do and you can hurt my heart but I will never hurt yours? What if I tell you there is no secret agenda, no trap door and no turning back? At such time as I can tell you this I will marry you.

But the question is, just because one is able - just because one has *options* - is that "better"? Whether the man chooses to lift the tree from the dying children, or not, he still feels the burden of the choice when, years later, one of the children kills 7 nuns and an ice-cream vendor. Perhaps the man should have instead saved his drowning wife instead of the children?

You may begin now to see the connection between "being strong" and Fate. The perception of strength gives some the percerption of choice, but really - does either really exist?

And so he bleeds.
