What would have happened if?
Nothing buffers age
like a good riddle.
It piques our mind
and lets the prim leak out,
stirs up creativity
and encourages
that dangerous not-knowing
to race around our memories,
kicking up past naughties
piled in their corners.
Answering it gives us other
lives, unlived, to be imagined.
A ladder out of loneliness,
a hand-up out of lethargy,
escape from the same-old same-old.
What
would
have
happened
if?
Prompt words today are: nothing, age, buffer, prim, dangerous and riddle.
