OTI:six poems and notes:8/26/16

Open To Interpretation

Promises?

Promises?
You won't own them,
Nor give a smidgen.
Why do I look forward?
I've seen enough to know
Not to be your pigeon.
Unbidden, I carry mine.
I would put them down
If my wings could open.

Imposition?

This conversation again,
Where I do all the talking,
What are you planning to do?
Imposition?
Yes, that's me,
In my fantasy.
Asked of me
In yours,
You say,
Who?

Bored Tongue

Time was
It was popular
To go to one's doom
For a righteous cause,
Any cause would do,
And this before
Radio TV web.
You could get tongue bored
Speaking
Blasphemy
In an eye blink.

Conclusion

One,
In time,
Arrives at the conclusion:
Don't give a damn about them
And they won't give a damn about you.

Montana

Be precious,
Like the eclipse in Montana
You are.

DMV

Be patient
When in the DMV
You are.
