O Great One !’ Then asked ‘What will you do?’ I meekly replied : ‘How can I pretend ?’ which was instantly rewarded with a claim of ‘That’s my Girl !’ To leave forever this evolving Globe of potentiality instructing from another constellation how Hearts are to commune with robots or skullcaps or election sweaters putting forward theories of Peacock Republics, my foot ! a cosmic activist gone haywire I turn or wait or patiently watch your angled angst royal regret, pea pleads weak emojis, boastful escapes to water caverns You have to do what I did to earn your colours true without Pretence ‘s’ replacing mishap fourth letter here as four is my number true Presence slithers like a Plumed Serpent she steps forward dualing with Pretence coffined cold ©GhairoDanielsPoetry& Song2024
