caused me PAIN and
LOSS of function
DISJUNCTION
caused the paths that
came to meet to
MISS, out of
SYNCH, out of
WHACK, beats
UNBLENDED, trains
OFFTRACK
I'm a square peg knocking against round rocks and hard places
I never counted on. Like a fish out of the sea, I'm out of my league.
I can't play this game, finish this swim, or say the name of
this TROUBLE I'm in.
(But I just tried moving to another town...)
an OTHER town
I OTHERED myself,
MOTHERED my own LOSS.
I didn't/couldn't count this cost
of (dislocation) relocation.
