Why Why, why Why Are these memories so hard to pin down? Why are the images of the you Gazing at the red rose memorial sadly, Sadly merged and smudged On a canvas, I not only don't possess Or Own But can't see either. Do you really want to" mess with my head"? Are you the wannabe? Or a different whoerbe? Are you many different people? All of whom I admit puzzle me, In this world where puzzles are many and diverse. For red roses to me, mean a A long ago funeral of a long lost parent From a partner left bereft and lost In a world not understood alone. No long ago red and rosy posy Sent from a special person to me; Or reciprocated, In my many varied past. I could be speaking to anyone Because anyone always has An identity That is smudged and merged also. So... We all stumble and roll In the fog of a faceless and a Beaurocratic Mess Even they have lost themselves in, Leaving the rest of us In seas too Deep and wide to navigate safely it seems. Prove us wrong.
