The Consequence of Face

It was easier when I didn’t know you- When the assumed outlined Made my assumptions more agreeable Having a good time balking At the inane disgrace unfolded But like peering through a telescope Time was all dust and gravity There was no sense of you being you In this whirlpool of giddy escape Maybe irresponsible, though I do believe Irrepressible to think in this way But on a quick, sudden glance I caught the truth of you being Shaken to the foundations Though not moving an inch Your husband quickly shot me down So as to back from the radius My well being I realized Was dancing on the edge of time Residing where no fingers grope Where the ocean welcomes me
