MUCH HAVE I SEEN, FAR HAVE I TRAVELLED; ALWAYS BEFORE HAS TRUTH UNRAVELLED

(disappointed)
I stand with my head
To one side
Quizzical child:
Am I toy?

(disappointed )
I stand with my heart
Astride a divide:
Do I play?
Do I hide?

(disappointed)
I stand with my mind
In a bind:
I know it is
All a lie.

(disappointed)
I stand with my eyes
Opened wide:
I bide my time
And watch for random
Reasons for disappointment
In your smile.
