Should I always be beautiful
and unshakable, easy to foretell like a myth ?
No, the world doesn’t love predictability.
Coupled only in rhymes, lines measured
by pulse rhythm, breath and pause.
Like poetry on the humanity scale
Open mouthed, starry eyed, at the passing of each word
From the ugly duckling to a swan.
If I missed a beat, missed a step, or fell, they’d gasp.
I would look away, embarrassed.
I molted, they pointed and whispered.
I became bored with the brass rings offered as their reward.
They ran inside when storm-clouds rolled,
They feared lightning’s power, while loving thunder and the rain.
Who would’ve predicted that?
From the swan back to ugly duckling.
No pulse rhythm, no breath and great pause.
Yes, the world doesn’t love predictability.
