Gray Squirrel Poet Free verse

Y'All

Y'All 
Feel Like
You're Deceiving
Everything... With
Who You Are
No Matter How
Hard To
Try Not
Confuse
The Issue,
Or Like
Wave
Diminishes
From A Spot
Well, It
Was, Now
More
Past
A
Wave?

Is It
Helpful
To Be
More Accurate?

Or Am I Deceiving
Myself? Oh.

Share It!

Why?

I Give Nothing.

I Don’t Think It Helps
Just Wasting Our Time
  With Inner Monologues
    Embracing, /Effacing...

No! There... You Can't...

Go Play Something Else
Or Just Watch...

That Didn't Take Very Long.

Selfish.

-Gray Squirrel

Gray Squirrel July 20, 2026 at 10:46 AM P.S. ...or 'multiverse'; or 'uncertainty' itself...; just to be a part of it... how selfish are we? This?!! Gray Squirrel July 20, 2026 at 10:36 AM Someone once convinced me that all we do is in our own self-interest, even if we want the entire universe to benefit; our survival only benefits, even "what we believe is right for us to do" is so, so selfish! (Or, do even better... but as a fool...?) It’s Even Fun! Your self-inflicting weapons are just ideas... Selfishly.
