No amount of preparation
can prepare us for when others
make avoidance (of whatever)
the point and focus of their life,
and the point of our life around them.
Even after who we avoided life with
is long gone, and we become aware
of what they denied and how deeply
they denied it, what remains of our ability
to prepare for the future seems to be
slimmer picking than we expected.
By then the best consolation
is to see regret as absurd and pointless.
Shame does not come into it.
