Actions

By <b>. QUEENIE .</b> •
and if i could time
out my reaction
and plan a course
of evasive action
i never would have
confronted you
i never would have
known the way you would have been.
i try, and yet i feel
it's not good enough
rehearse and trials
of error and misgivings
forgotten
embarassement and disillusions
i wish that you
had already heard.
i dont know
what you want of me
i dont know where
i stand or
what my cues are to be
i look awkwardly out
to you
for a sign
a hint, anything
i can use to stand up
on my own two feet.
and if i could've planned
my reaction
i'd have taken action
and now forgotten
pain would be.
