Lessons

Vigilance deserted 
Attention diverted
      you slid under me

Caught me senseless
     indefenseless
     essentially brainless

Tripped toe stumbling
Tangled tongue bumbling
     no intelligence forthcoming

Curled toes holding onto dignity
Praying for declivity into
     dissolvability

Circle gold clear gleaming.

Do you see the hilarity?
