The Ellipse

You say that,
but...

and the problem lies in the
ellipsis

the undefined unstated
conditions that will later
appear,
tacked on like Martin Luther's
theses

requirements
or 
boundaries
around an otherwise generous
offer

Life is full of ellipses,
arbitrary barbed-wire
casually strung across
dream fields,
limiting possibilities,
shrinking horizons,
changing forever
the
landscape
