affected beyond midlife crisis
woman suffers loss of her choices
as the girl, pubescent
loses, too, pure options
they exit life in din, as subjects

On “choice”
Naturally, we all have choices in life; but the reality is that our choices are affected by circumstances which may or may not be under our control. The ability to adjust our levels . . . to equalize our experience . . . rests in being honest with ourselves and each other about what choice is, where choice exists, how it’s applied, and to what end.
Some might say we shouldn’t think about it.
