rock…paper…scissors…

RockPaperScissors adam watland

 

in their ro-sham-bo of loving,

her paper lucid covers

his rock obstinance …

to turn his certainty of move

to a scissors cutting logic

‘gainst her counter rock endurance…

and they tie rock to rock for silence…

’til their comfort level deference

begins the game again

  1. I started reading … this is interesting, I thought –

           rock…paper…scissors…
           blade through to sanity

           seance in a gallery
           to apprehend the tip

           when townies go to ground…
           small act of mercy …

    … well, it DID say: ‘FOR BROWSING …’

    and then I grew up! (i think)
