They take what I write
At face value…
Apologies
But what I design
Hardly resembles a bank note.
Discerning one’s mind
Rather, mine
Does not take simple sifting
Or your own understanding.
Watch them catch feelings
Because it’s starting to register
In their brain
That I exhibit
A different kind of grey matter.
Offended when abstract ideas
Collide with their reality;
What do they say about that again,
“If the shoe fits…?”
