I discern a person I never
knew – perhaps not the
one you did either but a
blurred phantom emerging
from today’s delirium
something is really there
who’d have thought ideas
as estranged as bans on
slow-moving pedestrians
from riding autobahns
could have this meaning
in laughably familiar themes
I can’t play charades as you
do your instincts too adroit
from centuries of social
breeding – with me an
indiscretion of your Royalty
a court jester entertaining avidly
but in a fleeting insight as
meaningless as accidental
capture of a falling
star I burn to death
to understand
where respect is awarded by you
I see what you mean
you’ve made changes
because you can – less
than I deserve although
more than I command
and there, discover me
