settling for less

you have gone
through life 

settling at times.

for work,
for shelter,  taking
what's left

what's right for now,
not tomorrow.

buying on the fringe,
with money tight.

the color, the size, the style,
nothing being
quite right.

even love,
or something resembling love
falls
into the mix
of

settling. half in, half out.
waiting for

the real thing
to fall from the stars,
wondering

when, 
and why not not now.
