Jo Bien Poet Ode

Overload

once again I drew a line

you stepped over every time

this time thick indelible ink

so much stronger than you think



not to wander to the past

there was none when I look back

you thought I would hang around

hovering ever in your background



I tried to make it perfectly clear

but you heard what you wanted to hear

thinking this is all about you

another time of making me blue



you are wrong, it's all about me

finely getting the things I need

not put last or a sideline query

all those things that made me weary



you go your way, I'll go mine

and yes each passage needs to rhyme

it's not a song, more of an ode

from a mind on overload
