If half of it explained the other half, then
the ill-at-ease sense should fade as it’s
debate crescendos - you’ve been like it
for days the first half argues, bleariness
incarnate, making no headway; why me
the other half says, you’re just as much
to blame but I don’t see you making an
apology for such clearly dismal failure
for what neither sees personally as their
own inadequacy - so I buy into it saying
next you’ll be seeing me as the culprit -
and hey, both instantly agree - its given
the complicit thumbs-up assent
in my moment of need, you’re neither a
whole nor an idea of the entity we’d be
but I’m better already; get thee hence -
from here on I won’t hear any voices of
dissent unless they’re only from me ...
