More Reen

i've searched
my mind and
thumbed
through
books

of ancient lore
even implored
mi familia of
strega
for

asking all all the same
what is this script
perhaps maybe
hieroglyphs
etched

in stone a primal
primitive man
expressing
this this
reen

but to my chagrin
not an answer
but solved
when i
did

cross one eye while
the other stayed
straight purely
practice of
a bored

childhood but then
understood why
i didn't want
reens but
more

more
reens
Mau

I love this Jeff. My interpretation, those picture puzzles you have to blur your vision to see the hidden image... am I right? Just took my first Pramiracetam, am I smarter? ;) Thank you my friend <3

Yes you got it Maureen. I used to scare my sister by crossing only one eye jajaja. But this poem I was talking with mi Musa, and said I haven't seen you, Maureen, for awhile; so told her to write this.
