Did you witness a crunch time when all
comes falling back at you; and you just thought
you were the pinch-hitter. Now, the baseball cap
made you realise your strengths. I am just batting
like a friend (righteous mighty leader) in the distant West. I don’t
detect any anomalies in an unnamed friendship!
But the treachery against us, is also common ground!
Right from the time I was a little child, I felt like
I was narrating a story; and it was an epigram.
You know there is satire in every comitragedy.
I barely imagined that I would be full-on face to face
with it soon. It was unsheathed as silently as the noble secrets
I held. And I stood for nobility all my life, so where should
I think was the pivot of my life, in my discovering the treachery;
In my discovering the love of my life; and all the loves I couldn’t
do without. Or, in discovering distant profound unconversed love
for brothers in arms, and my Captain-King. See, they always try
to make me discriminate between my loves. So, I can never love
and never choose. But do you think that I feel defeated by it!
But I dare to venture into the territories of every enemy
and stake my claim. You think I need to be shame-faced about
taking back the fruits of my orchard, stolen, and sorry in their campsite
storerooms. I am as reckless with their treachery as I am wise and patient
with their rapine. You know treachery has no wisdom
but the sleight of connivance. And the last pivot in my life was
when I let them know who I was and what I stood for. I bare as I dare! (Thank you, dearest DT!)
