He Chooses

1.
My father in shadow half light, half dark
Edification, redemption blend bloody, bold, stark
“So glad to meet you…” really ghost, “so glad”
She filters out nothing visual fantasy, folklore, nature
If it’s not crazy (137, balance only in a fourth dimension) it’s wrong
This relationship won’t change him Truth lies at his abyss
Reality’s not personal blood circulates (for all) within
The angrier he gets the more he smiles
2.
His realm defies her vision It’s cultural, isn’t it—this smile?
But if it doesn’t hurt, says coach, you’re doing it wrong
Cluelessness, self-denial, deception congenial lies
This vision of hers— affair after affair and
she’s always the victim, the hurt the scared
3.
Superior performance, some success better but not good
Balanced but not free she filters out nothing
He detests small talk and chooses his dining companions with care
You don’t choose your partners and freedom isn’t just glimpsed
Criticisms hidden in sugar holes in experience,
Illiteracy in the light she always leaves visionless
