HOW CAN I PRETEND: PART 4

HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 4

Innocence, zest, curiosity 
remain intact protected   
crimson hymns I earned
when Divinity composed 
a skin of cheetah brown 
amused at a white chin 
where my masculine’s 
fuzzy beard ought to be
HE raucously laughed 
aloud at my horrored 
‘Don’t You Dare !
O Great One !’

Then asked ‘What will you do?’
I meekly replied : ‘How can I 
pretend ?’ which was instantly 
rewarded with a claim of 
‘That’s my Girl !’

To leave forever this 
evolving Globe of 
potentiality instructing
from another constellation 
how Hearts are to commune 
with robots or skullcaps 
or election sweaters putting 
forward theories of Peacock 
Republics, my foot ! a cosmic 
activist gone haywire 

I turn or wait or patiently 
watch your angled angst
royal regret, pea pleads
weak emojis, boastful
escapes to water caverns
You have to do what I 
did to earn your colours 
true without Pretence
‘s’ replacing mishap 
fourth letter here as 
four is my number true

Presence slithers like
a Plumed Serpent 
she steps forward
dualing with Pretence 
coffined cold
