Disabuse

 

Aliens’ views in the least – stretching imagination
in mind-expanding misuses of words once surely
apposite to understanding; something’s changed,
may be me – suggesting errors are hidden in the
way one chooses to see is choice’s estimation, a
demand to be paid remains whatever options are
laid, it is the elementary fee – the buttocks of a
stance ineptly allayed in the seat of your pants

Yet we’ve come to an impasse and the word-play
fails to entertain; I’m seated well in a principle of
not playing your game your way – while I do see
why you chose to be intransigent, was it apropos
of how you viewed me, a deliberate disabuse too
partisan to be anything other than crudely true?
