Walk straight and slam

A post

Like my psyche on a blatant day

if I could know beforehand

I might not

go headlong into …

Instead, I would respond

with patience

not passive removal

just a reflection

a natural mirror

without any background

beyond looking with caution

in the eyes

slowly losing hair

yet, able to walk forward

without that feeling

that lost gesture

the post

step aside and walk freely

today we will lessen the blow

wrap our arms around

and embrace the dull,flat latex

keeping the post attractive.
