Maybe Compassion

[squarebluefish]

Willful Misunderstanding.
Like a big tangled knot of 
laughter, passive aggressive tension
and silence.

Nervous Eyes.
The way you look has 
little tongues wagging,
wondering on who you are and who
you date.

Having Trouble.
Just try to keep your 
emotions under control, a little.
Move us like chess pieces, more
decisively than you feel,
bluff us.

And you'll grow into this.

I know you're naked under your clothes, just like I am.
