Third Person Singular

selfstruggles

(she's looking back, cautious
detaching herself and trying
not to laugh at the irony)
it's gone
(she's keeping it clinical
or pretending to
solace found in third person,
and where would she be
without ebbing secrets and
indefinite pronouns?)
abolish memories
(over-analysis is a must.
speaking of which,
this grammatical obsession,
she's sure,
is unhealthy and uncommon--
which is worse?)
lose for once
(oh, and the tendency
to speak parenthetically
may show signs of avoidance
or even paranoia,
according to her psych textbook)
the game is over, stop playing.
and I came out from the shadows and somehow managed to be me again without parentheses and third person singular pronouns
---
(irony)
>>> then she woke up,
laughed at her folly
discarded the daydream
and thought to herself
that outlandish dreams of such kind
were probably the result of
tensionandpressureandtheworldgoingupinflames
but, not being entirely sure,
she made a mental note
to ask her psych professor about it the next day.

| This is constructed very well. You caught my attention by the title, and I'm glad I read this. You've got some real originality and talent. I'll definitely be looking for more of your writes. :) |

We all have our "methods", I think. And... I'm certain I needn't expand on that - I know you know what I mean by that, Nora.
If we're lucky, certain readers will see past the methods.... perhaps because they understand, perhaps because they've felt the same, perhaps because.... they know us well enough to see what's underneath. And if we're very, very lucky... they'll understand why it was presented as it was and will accept that it had to be that way. At least, for now.
And... each time that we get a teensy bit braver and are willing to say a little bit more than last time, maybe they'll notice - and - maybe they'll find that rather touching.
This, dear Nora... is so very touching.

Woah girl...
Another of your poems that I just love, you're an extremely complex writer.
(Did that make sense?)
Everytime I read one of your poems, I have to re-read it and re-read it, because it just amazes me how you can write so perfectly.
I will now go back to reading this. (Probably about 6 times more) before I can fully comprehend what it is you are trying to say.
Stunning write hunni.
*hugs* Phil xxx

This one makes me ponder Nora. There is much in this beneath the surface...and yet the ability for you to laugh at it (twice) is most reassuring.
Its good to think deeply and ponder ourselves, but sometimes we need to shake it off and just enjoy the experience.
Great write! |
