make up your madness

"what are your plans for today?" my dad asks me this morning. "not like, today-today," he adds, " but your plans today?
"i don't know." i say. and continue to stare at my cereal.

remember how in school the mulitple choice question tests were always the best? the idea that one of the answers would unquestionably be provided in writing was almost always more comforting than trying to fish one out of the ai-eerhh eh i mean out of your memory.
life is a little bit like that. only the answers are now labeled well beyond D, there is no "all of the above" option and there is more to it; you have to figure out the real question, not just the answer.
that's how i feel. a hundred mulitple choices, each equally valid and enticing.....and i'm still not sure about the question.
when? where? in what order? to what end? for whom?
