TO SAY WHAT YOU DID may
be important
but the most important
things in our lives are
the things we didn't do
thousands and millions of pages
a kiss we missed
a trip we didn't take
the sentence we didn't say to
love
The mistakes we didn't make
the lipstick on my forehead
my grandfather
not leaving for Argentina
or not becoming a U.S. citizen
the poem I didn't write
because of an urgent phone call
The call I didn’t hear
and was it
God?
