Regret: cud-chewing
when you don’t have the stomach
for endless rumination.
Chew the fat; not the cud.
What’s done is done,
so you would be better placed
to concentrate on
management of the future,
though control is limited.
To realise that
need not be fatalistic.
Take life by the horns
and responsibility
for your deeds – not the whole world’s.
