at the

inner-sage

who told me so

the violent

hurling of

logic and

common-sense

objects

in defiance

of acumen

this incongruity

carries on.

and though they flowed

awkwardly

from his tense, nervous lips

his words fell

gracefully

to the floor and swirled all

together, forming a variety of

kaleidoscopic and

deliquescent

puddles

which I instinctively

swept away.

strange gullet
sensation
burning
fluttering
easily distracts
hijacking the mind
and possessing

am I hanging on
till the bitter end
or onto it
instead;
grasping at

(though I’ve
nothing to drink)
just in case,
ready for a
secret
someday?

I can’t help it if
it hurt back then
because it did, and I
didn’t deny that.
Fresh stings, now,
in a way
to have lost the game
without playing
to an unworthy
opponent
hell-bent on
destroying
that which
she sought
to win.
I would have
been much
more
delicate.

It’s a funny thing about women
You see
The subtle differences in
motives
behaviors
convictions.
Environmental espionage
Self-saboteurs
From my alien vantage point
Under separate structured
conditions
I wonder how it is a man
Will always choose
What’s wrong for
him.

Quick and nimble
dexterous
Not the fragile
little thing
you were
convinced of
slightly bruised

but tough as

anti-ingénue
backstage alpha
she can turn on a
dime
and you’ll no longer

At the end of the day

They all fit neatly into

Standard boilerplate

Lullabies

and well-wishes

Feigned fascination

Transient staying power

powerless

unrecognizable rhythm

Wouldn’t know it

If it reached up to

kiss you

honesty through transparency
you give yourself away
and i play along
biding my time while
armies gather, guarded
strengthening
fortifying
preparing
here comes my lightning war.
