No Recognition


It’s a harmless, silly game I play
Just for a moment near you, now and then
A word or two between strangers
Is all you recognize
But it’s me that you are reading
You don’t even know it
I’m not afraid, anymore
That you’ll figure it out
You’re oblivious to words written
About you
How could I have believed
You ever knew me?
The healing is picking up speed.

Speak when you are angry--and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret...Laurence J. Peter

Sven---unless you know something I don't know, I'm confused.  But then what else is new?  And if you do, please tell me.  LOL

Harmless???  We want to believe otherwise.
But is the "silly game" ever harmless?  Hasn't been for me . . .

And dances with the daffodils.          Wm Wordsworth  (I Wondered Lonely as a Cloud)
