Get a way

There is no way I can get
My way when what is felt dismays

The intellect frets over choices
When the consequences have been met

Karma rejoices over the intercept–
As the future vectors in on the present

Listening for the death tone
A predator drone fires nothing left

This is not the way I wanted it to end
Debris in freefall I wanted it all

Maybe I should’ve retreated
And maybe defeated I wouldn’t have been

Maybe next time I’ll get a way
Maybe next time I’ll just getaway
