i found out recently
why she sneezes
after stepping out
from the shadows
into bright sunlight
it is apparently
a genetic trait
something uncontrollable
simply confusion
between her optic
and trigeminal nerves
where the one responsible
for everything seen
inadvertently sets off
the other and
this one has
a tendency to react
to foreign bodies
and irritation
explosively

MeanderingWords

inadvertently

I resent many of my own works,
And I resent who wrote them.

But It’s what I feel and my hand writes,
As a suicidal turtle,
Though may place his head underneath an elephant’s foot,
Cannot stop himself from pulling back under his shell.
