the deef end (expectation)

I'd sooner defile
than deify expectation, but
I'll settle easily on "defies."

Truth is I don't expect
much or little; I try
to leave expectation

open

for others' use
as needs must or
likes love

then if they declare
expectation openly, I
can be like

WHAT?

or

OK!

or

whatever
seems
apt.

Or flat.

Depending on where
we
at.
