And when you raked
through colored bricks
like some lego-playing
boy
selecting this,
erecting that
rattle scatter
letters twist apart
from what I built
to construct what
only you did dream
I was not in
the room
could not care less
.

Yo dear Amaryllis,

This poem is beyond me.  I don't understand it, but then I don't understand a lot of things.

Love Bobby

Oh dear, `twas merely a reply to critical comment I received irl.. someone I know who turned my poem around.. nothing more.. but made me feel better to write it lol!  No political undercurrent

Interesting in one way but the meaning rather unclear. Take care.

Oh, well, what I meant to say is it's a good write; the slight obscurity makes interpretations as different as psychological to land misuse possible. Such is the sandbox, sometimes.

Thank you, Lindsay and easy1.. yes, I know it`s rather abstract & nebulous.. I typically try to avoid this type of poem, (the kind that only the author can `get`)..because I feel it`s disrespectful to the reader.. I apologize for the opacity.  =(
Back to my normal (heh)  self today

Thanks for reading!
