Inspired by Possibilities by Wisława Szymborska

most everything - Anthony Kolasny

I prefer sunrise to sunset
but both have their magic

I prefer to remember the good and let the bad fade.
fill the mind like a cozy home with precious memories.

I prefer love notes to parking tickets found on my windshield.
Sometimes it's better to receive than to give.

I prefer irresistible forces to immovable objects
when something has gotta give.

I prefer asking questions to assuming answers
assuming the responses are truthful.

I prefer singular to plural
it's less complicated.

I prefer clouds to pure blue skies
even if clouds may bring rain.

I prefer tangents to uniformity
you never know where they may lead

I prefer simple picnics to extravagant dining
it's the company not the setting.

I prefer wornout sweaters to new clothes.
there is a history to the garment.

I prefer quiet moments to roaring crowds
moments are potential treasures.

I prefer not having a cell phone. Is it really
that important to disturb this moment?

I prefer the unconditional to conditional,
eternal to finite, and will always be an idealist.

I prefer discovering kindred souls
to most everything.
