Now we all evolve,
devolve,
transform into
the Other.
the Other.
Looking high,
seeking low,
water finds its level.
(eventually)
Oh, don’t stand there
adjudicating
calculating
feigning innocence
you’ve never known.
Sober as a judge.
Judge me not.
Judge my words
(not deeds)
for though my actions fail me,
and reach exceeds my grasp
and efforts sometimes come to naught,

Funny how those trip people up. love your poem
Can more wisdom can come from a writers pen than by his/her actions? Truth is such an elusive animal it loves hiding.
February 18, 2015 at 6:30 PMVery intriguing wordplay, the way the poem does seem to devolve into and out of itself. Great Job!
February 19, 2015 at 4:08 PMIntentionally? Or do we have to read between the lines to get at the truth?
