Choices

I
here
fate deals, we play
don't own the deck
play best as we can
whine, thank, pray, scold
..................but
for the allotted seconds
we play

II
here
dropped in waters
we swim
with or against the tide
in shallow and deep waters
................but
for the allotted seconds
we swim

III
is there anything
we cannot do
to stay afloat?
tell me then why
are we segmented?
