left surprised
to no surprise
as kaleidoscope lights
show your skirt of stripes
& peace sign eyes
It's over 30 years ago
but no matter where or when
I'd still feel out of place
perfection
caters itself to your grace
and no matter
where I look
I see you
it's taunting the way you
move
and even worse
when you're standing alone
because try
try
try
as a might
I couldn't bear the weight
of being so
small
in your eyes
so once more
I bask
in insignificance
and reluctance
a self-defeating
sore thumb
always out of place
