Explanation #47

the number of times
i’ve been accused by others
of being absurd or out of my place
is large

the number of times
said absurdity was intended
to be absurd
is not

the number of times
i was out of my place

simply
being me
and

my absurdity 
was simply
a way of

is just trying to see things

anything coming from 
my tilted mouth
that spills wrong

doesn’t have
much of a chance 
of landing well
