Is it necessary to always agree? How will it ever progress you past living off tips and beans?
Just say it how it really is..
Tell her you don't really give a shit,
About her vertically challenged boyfriends napoleon complex, causing him to be a bit of a dick, for the seventeenth time this week..tell her to leave, he's a control freak..or if he ever really did lose his shit, just hold his forhead back with her palm, while his arms swing then call the police before tweeting it.
I guess this makes me a hypocrite..
Because of, oh you know, how much I love you, but I can't bring myself to admit it, for the fear of feelings not reciprocated..
I digress from what I originally intended this imaginary conversation to be..
Hold the phone where were we?
Oh yeah that's right it's time you grew some teeth,
To back up that pink hair and leopard print two piece.
For once tell him you can't work the over time..
Just so he can go home early to play video games online, while Ignoring his wife, and in the great game of life it leaves you behind, on the coursework for the degree that when complete might change your life..
I guess this makes me a hypocrite, because of, oh you know, my undiscovered genius, going to waste 9 till half past 5..

Complexity of life, our emotions fitting in and self denial, background detail - not easily put into verse. But you do it. OK if i was 16 and hadn't lived a bit maybe your piece would be a confusion.. But you know your reader has, and you use this.
Another revealing insight into just another westerners life in the twenty first century.
Funny, sad, encouraging and very readable.... wanted more of it.
I hear what you're saying about the confusion, I've had a few people in the past ask me to provide a description of certain poems.. I really don't see the point in doing that, that's the whole point of a poem isn't it? Expressing something that causes a reaction such as wonder or excitment or confusion or this is awful.. A description robs the reader of finding the meaning out for themselves. There are more versus waiting to be picked out of thin air and I may write a part 2..hopefully. Thank you dusk, a pleasure as always.
I agree that there is no explanation necessary for reasonably intelligent folk who have a bit of life under their belt. Surely that is the expected readership on here. Anyone else should be sticking to Jack and Jill or little Jack Horner. Don't change a thing.
brilliant work as always Ed. ~E
Thank you E, Did you smile or did you nod? 🙂
