Reflection: This is a romantic-themed poem where the contemplator continually seeks opportunities and possibilities but never seems to be satisfied – leading to a rhapsody on repeat. This tiny poem came into being as I was walking home from a bar one night when the line “always playing for possibilities” came to mind, and really resonated with me. So, I modified it slightly and it really worked as a short poem.
