Why are you frowning?
You’ve been offered a special opportunity
by a very special lady
yet you don’t seem to be reacting
in an especially positive way.
That frown, in fact, looks positively negative.

What’s keeping you down, sport?

Is it that you don’t appreciate
what’s on offer?
Or that you don’t like the questions
it raises for you,
the choices it brings up?

Does this opportunity
make you realize
that you have decisions to make
quickly
and you don’t know what your choice is,
or even what all the options are.
You may not be positive about the question.

You know that you’re uncomfortable
though intrigued
and that despite yourself,
you’re frowning.
You don’t know
what’s next.
