Terminology

Is it wrong to think it's right

that what I write

is neither wrong nor right

depending on the light?



You may hate my choice of words

as I do.

Or praise it, raise it to glory.

In which case, what ails me heals you.

And it's all just

point of view.



          Poem:  "An object subject to scrutiny, mutiny by millions."



A single story

will suffer metamorphosis

at the multitude of minds

applied.

So your creative side

is useless

to the outcome

of your cry.



It's an open market.

And I won't give you

two turds for your diamond

if my girlfriend

needs aquamarine.

Sell. Sell. Sell it again

to yourself if you must.

Whichever hand holds the green.



          Accolade:  "Praise;  better obtained if one knows who to swindle."



On a spindle tongue

the fabric of thoughts are spun,

not for the overdressed

who ponder its worth.

But for the naked ones over yonder

who bleed feedback

through warmed smiles.



          Foul:  "Anything landing outside the field of outcomes desired."



And all the while,

I've been sales pitching

out of the strike zone

with the wrong umpire.
