My sense of proportion has terrorized me.
My measured response
must be measured, not once,
but again and again
'til it's found to fit.
By then it's too late to be offering it.
It would make too much
of a comment that passed
without comment, objection, correction
or fuss.
Besides, the conversation has run
considerably past
where I thought it was.

Anything you have to say - question, critique, interpretation, praise or rebuke - is received with gratitude and interest.
If it looks like spam and contains a link, though, it will not be published. I will cherish it to myself, instead. Thank you!
