Necessity
sometimes delivers us
where we so often yearned to go
Down, farther into circumstance
far past need
Crossing the great divide of
anguish and antipathy
Featuring old wishes and
quiet desperate hopes
Necessity comes upon the scene
ravishing the could-have would-haves
turning them to stone in a New York minute
As it presses us up against possibility
Nudging us each day toward
what we are actually perfectly able to do
