Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

Winning Disbelieving Nazis

You're unwilling to suspend disbelief,
as you parse,
because you do not believe
in the perfect metaphor,
plying lines and words
for a hiccup.
yet, I'll keep trying,
verse after verse
to hook you and make you
a believer of imperfection
and the value of the interplay
between what we can't achieve
like returning to Eden.

It's tragedy.
We root for the losing team,
so why not me?
I'd entertain a scholarly Nazi
for hours, idling
at my bed, ready to dive
beneath the covers,
read past dark,
when in the wee hours
you see what I struggle for...

...self-worth.

Write like you? I don't think so, but I'm wiling to compromise. How do you think I came this far to greet you?
