decision making

its interesting
how people come to their decisions
about life
about jobs and babies and who to marry and when
about what to wear and how to do ones hair
its interesting

which is why i was never good at math
(how do these stories go together you ask?)

well because
ever since i was ticking
i made decisions simply by what felt right
and if that led to confusion
i would pray

and in math class
answering the question by what felt right
usually meant -fail
and when i prayed that i would pass- ...fail
math is not about intuition
and hence my decision making skills had to be mixed with
knowledge and skill

and so i wonder
how we decide
