you* and you**
by David Garneryou* and you** should look for someone else, a different
someone else, and not the same ideas of someone else, no, no.
you* are lovely. you* look like the moon. you** don't.
you** look like a sad historic Russian tsar or czar. you* don't
you* have cheek bones high like wires in the circus or the telephone.
you** play her* like a jukebox or a tambourine.
you* let him** treat you like a punching bag or thing.
you** owe her* an old-fashioned, heart-felt, big apology.
and you* should find a way to accept it and move on.
you* and you** deserve much more than either one of you*** can give.

| Posted by George Hoerner on 02/12/08 at 02:45 AM Very interesting form. This makes for good thinking. Good write and probably good advice. |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 02/13/08 at 04:35 PM The feeling in the poem, I kind of exasperation, moves it beyond normal expression, into sign-language... (*,**,***) this being so in tune with the momentum-- and frustratation at such relationship-- original and very effective! |
