distortions

these reflections, i think, distort.
i keep striving for clear vision
for perceiving now
and instead dealing
with that long gone.

you speak, i hear
in now and yet
i act toward the past.

how odd.  as
finally, you turn
and walk away, realizing
i haven’t heard you:  not a word of it.
and as i wonder
at your leaving, and then

interpret it
in terms of the past.
