4Sum

I am committed,
but what’s so wrong about being right first time? 
a definite no-brainer, I am sure as shit
but for some the process must be tested
instincts scrutinised, 
hastiness weighed out and considered
approval obtained
decisions rinsed and ironed
with the turbulent passage of time.
For some,
to trust other’s judgement
is a death leap,
a half-severed bungee chord dive
into the chasm of compliance.
For some it’s
safer to tremble on the daunting
cliff of indecision.
