Day five

Undo

 We don’t know in advance about the things we can’t undo. 

 I think it is a keyboard button I can press to release myself just in time from a bad decision  I didn’t think through in time. 

 Then there are the deletes you can’t backtrack on no matter how many folders you search through with a sense of futility and despair, which does not come all at once but over days sometimes. 

 A stab right in the solar plexus with a breath which can’t be drawn quite deeply enough for the relief of tomorrow being another day. 

There are images which can be never unseen but as slight comfort to aging process and ravages of a progressive disease my memory is not what it once was. Unreliable and yet dropping in cruelly, one of those fragments I really need an undo or delete option for.
