MeeAugraphie

1.

Easy enough to get lost
in one thought
on one aspect
behind one expectation
in one reflected image
behind one loss

easy enough to get there
but how the hell
do you get found?

2.

Negative wrangles Positive
to the ground,
covers him in mud
(or soured chocolate pudding)
seals him in trashed words
from composted brain

then declares himself the winner
and stomps his foot on wallowed head
then struts off in confidence
earned by many wins.

In fairy tales
Positive waits in silence
breath controlled to almost
nonexistence until Negative’s
hand pulls up rope and first leg
crosses its barrier

then with precision Positive leaps
in surprise attack to twist
Negative within the ropes securely.

Positive pauses to give Negative
a well deserved wedgie,
to the boos from the haze filled room

then leaps over the ropes
and saunters from the ring
past Self-Despair clones
and Unvented Frustration cousins
and out into the fresh air of
Positive Intentions to join in their parade

but this is not a fairy tale.

3.

Acting with intent
though of the moment only
leaves chance of results
unplanned by any
but the recessed gutters
of mind.

4.

Regroup
Rethink
Recoup

Too late
Too soon

Or Merely
Too
Overwhelming

For
Two
