The Problem

Fränz Müller

Why is me

existing as I actually am

such a problem?

Why must I

dress myself up to your standards

when nakedness fits me best?

When we two

make lingering eye contact

you office casual, passing in your car,

me, stark naked on my stoop

worlds and worldviews collide

as the heavens open up

and the warm rain soaks us both.

    Open and closed to opposites in duality. Nicely done

    “Why must I
    dress myself up to your standards
    when nakedness fits me best?”
    such a good line! great work 🙂

    What a terrific piece, Fränz! The contrast between social presentation and complete self-acceptance is sharp, funny, and quietly profound...then the weather arrives and renders every imposed distinction meaningless. Brilliantly done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
