Confusing choices


I’m sure there must have been a reason 
Why someone built what looks to be a cabin,
 Perched precariously atop this railroad bridge, 
But it isn’t clear to me, nor can I imagine
 The courage it takes to climb there.
 But there are lots of other decisions made 
That I have trouble understanding; 
Lots of other paths people walk 
That I find challenging to comprehend — 
All opportunities to practice, I suppose, 
A willful suspension of disbelief,
 But still I find it hard to explain 
Choices that lack empathy.
