Misreading you
So much to say
on everything you didn't mean.
And yet you take it anyway!
And run with it,
with glee obscene.
It seems a fair fun game to you,
with whim and fancy playing catch
- your realist throws all missed
by me. I'm chasing after phantom
snatch! From empty air! I grasp
by hand - and pivot now, triumphantly!
And juggling one too many balls,
the other dropped and lost.
The one you truly threw,
in such good cause. We'll see
that as we run, it starts to be
a truer thing, not wrong. Because
you play, you catch, you act
as if you were that all along:
Becoming you-I-see.
It was a trap.
A Pocketful of Poesy was and is again a Poem-a-Day(-on-Average) Blog! For 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and now for 2017 and going forward, you may expect to see 365 poems every year, 366 for leap years.
but aren't they all random?
