I followed today's OctPoWriMo prompt, but you would never know it from the outcome.
Contingency plans: if this happens, that happens
If this doesn't happen that won't happen
If you are not up to our standards of liking
Nothing will happen
Contingency plans: if you change your thoughts
to no longer match ours, if you drift into
any unfamiliar territory that doesn't match us
Nothing will happen
Contingency plans: forever grieving the other
I listen, numb to the smarting of my dead skin
Maybe that's why I have it, so inside your rant
Nothing will happen
Contingency plans: scoop up my not-so-little ones
Continue to evolve without the need for outside
relationship. Holding arms out - high - forget
Nothing will happen
