or perhaps not

perhaps there are
those who can fill
and be fulfilled in
some close-fitting niche
perhaps there is
a niche that would fit
someone like me
perhaps it's really
just over the hill but
perhaps i'll take
the scenic route
the twisty lane
with the "bridge out" sign
and find myself
lost? stuck? resting
in the shade
of this tree
instead of
finding myself
fulfilling myself
in some niche
with my name
or yours
on the door
which is probably
closed
