A Few of My Favourite Juxtapositions
It was an umbrella
for sure ..
But she called it her
parasol ..
I called it a tank top
but she
called it a camisole ..
We made
love in the afternoon
as soon as
the rain had stopped ..
Although she
always insisted that
the light
remained turned off ..
Yes one things
for sure, somethings
always got
lost in translation
and life today, seems
to be just one
long pose and a series
of less than
obvious juxtapositions ..

Your poem illustrates how language and perception can create a distance between people, leading to misunderstandings and a sense of loss in translation.
