Unzipped Lips
I think I’m not totally stupid
I didn’t know I was dense
I can read and reread some poems
And still don’t know what was meant
I totally miss the basic meaning
Behind cleaver use of words
The intent is so camouflaged
I can't hear what should be heard
To me it just sounds likes gibberish
What are they trying to say?
I try hard to construe the meaning
But don’t seem to think that way
I have an engineering background
I expect words explicit
Redundancy should be avoided
Is that why I can’t get it?
Of course all these poems are not wrong
The fault is surly all mine
Maybe if I keep playing the game
I’ll understand given time
