you know it’s true
the question is when
some begin every day
each day is a new tablet
on which life is carved
or tapped out digitally
some began long ago
and just carry on
keeping calm is optional
though preferable
some haven’t begun yet
but they will
some have begun already
but have questioned
that previous beginning
and are thinking
of starting over
a franchise reboot
some begin and stop
over and over again
questioning too much
trusting not enough
who is now the question
who are you beginning to be
