The Moment

All this planning and all this preparing and all this thinking
will only lead to a point where
they matter no more,
for only action counts.


I can analyze everything over and over again,
‘till the moment has passed,


or reject thought altogether,
waving my arms in the hustle,
foolishly peering everywhere,
while stumbling in every direction
at once.


How can I know if I’ve reasoned enough
yet not excessively?
How can I know the moment of action?


for it seems like an iterative process,

and I merely have one shot
