All Sides

a pulse beating
in your ears
suddenly stops____
the empty stomach
gurgles bile and air
like a sewer
sucking down trash____
functions to walk 
away from,
    tag along unwanted,
    unhappy, under
    bad decisions.
we may not want
to be bitter,
but life has responsibilites,
to sustain our learning,
with instruction examples____
all sides have consequences.
