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.
i wonder
at your leaving, and then
interpret it
in terms of the past
