1st person, 3rd person singular

1st person, 3rd person singular
proprietary and confidential discoveries in the realm of conspicuous existence

He speaks in the third person.
He said she said this, she meant that.

He is the narrator, the prevaricator, the
cross synergist of whispers and facets,
the stone cold coal of explanation,
the diamond reflection
thousands upon thousands of
tons piled on to create evidence,
proof of innocence.

I, on the other hand, am a note taker,
a faker of poetic wit,
a bit smitten by language.

I speak in the first person,
The only person I know.

I am completely and totally out of it.
I'm sure there are observers who would concur.
According to him, I'm just her.

Yes. And according to her I'm just him.
It just goes in a vicious circle sometimes.

is that like a pizza with topped piranhas
instead of anchovies?

is anybody right
when everybody is wrong?

a good poem too

You got me thinking about the pyschopathology of geometric shapes
passive agressive squares
paranoid trianges

I had a triange once. It was nightwatch blue. I painted it flat black & wrote the word "snow" on her flank. Sometime after this she ran off with a traveling psychopathology. I paranoided for awhile then went geometric. Too poem a good. All star with sky behind it. A lung top of sing thing. *Sparkle*
