Backspace

If the wand of life

Offered you one,

One swish of a backspace,

What would you

Erase,

And perhaps

Redo?

That double bite of a melting brownie?

An ode to your bulging fat.

The drink you downed for a bet?

And lost mornings 

To dismantled fragments.

The indulgent kiss?

Another cloud,

Faintly wafting away.

Who would you have

Chosen as family,

As friend?

Would you alter lives

Altogether?

Barter,

The means of bread?

How different a route

Would you tread?

Seasons of sadness,

Would you unlive?

Or would you rather

Look at them,

Look of a warrior?

Do you have it in you,

In spite of your wishes,

To erase?

Would you?
