(what
is and what should never be)-1
it is time to discuss
the power of conditional
its briefness
if.
that word has an
impending sense of doom
the second it escapes.
you know what comes next
brings forth restriction
the reminder that fates
can have more power over
ourselves than we truly
wish they would… if.
it infests our daily lives
corrupts our souls
with its brooding force
reminding us again that
things would be different.
if.
we use it as a softener
but it weakens as
hydrochloric treatment.
we use it as a condition
so, if in our capriciousness,
we sway,
it can be done with
a save of face.
defining revisions
exploit contradictions
defend conventions
prevent rejections
all the result of the
ultimate question which
the conditional is to
leave one with…
what will happen
when conditions change?
