I stare down into this blank of paper
Blinding bright and filled with empty

Anything could happen now
Anything could happen

My wife had died recently 
And coming out of the grocery store 
I realized I was the only one here
And the sky hung like a sword 

Anything could happen now
Anything could happen

I didn’t want new possibilities
I didn’t want unlimited options
I didn’t want not to know what happens

Anything could happen now
Anything could happen

Peering now into this vacant page
Standing like an exclamation point

Anything could happen now
Anything could happen

Be the one who doesn’t know
Fall into the white space
Like a fool on fire
