MISUNDERSTANDING

MISUNDERSTANDING

Yes, we did
have our intimate moment

but now
in the afterglow

we seem
to be labouring
under a
misunderstanding

talking to each other
as if every word
macine transcribed
into Enigma code

acting under
the erroneous assumption
that we
are somehow created
as divine reflection

and not
some extension of plankton
whose million
year evolution took
a pretty
    ludicrous turn.
