It is always explained away
with sarcasm and
clever, witty words
whenever I return to my
mental quicksand,
as if the free spirit I once was
has now sunk down
to being a loose cannon like
one of her Majesty's ships
attacked by pirates and
miraculously left adrift;
I am written off,
explained away, if you will,
paid off to be kept hidden
while the R.S.P.V. invitiation
is discreetly retrieved
and excuses made to those
who had been promised
a fool with which to play,
and all the while
perceiving me too out-of-sorts
to notice their rude behaviors
and write about it as if
I really care anymore.
