WRONG WAY
do not take this
the wrong way
do not
take it all
quite so personally
the best metaphors
are the ones
you cannot help
but take personally
the worst,
the ones you take
the wrong way
are
diabolical, lethal
some unidentified metaphors
on and beneath
your radar
are winging their way
to you right now
even as we speak, shoot
the breeze, could
be angels,
might be devils
might be
arrows
soaked in love
killer envenomed
not being able
to duck them dodge them
shows
for better or for worse
they have
your number
can’t miss
about to hit
