This or That

Conquer or concur

Roar on or gently purr

Embrace or deter

The choices that were

Flight or fight

In the day before the night

The dark will blur my sight

The light will slight the fright

I stand at both alone

With warmed heart or chilly bones

Whether still lost or tucked at home

The event devolves in foam

Run or stay

Live—or not—another day

There's never time to pray

For the quintessential way
