Surface Viewers
When I did 'do',
The doing done I did...
Was not noticed,
To deeply critique.
I was thought to be a new 'kid'.
Innocent and absent of wise eyes.
Now the doing done,
To do as always...
Without the seeking,
Gets more criticized.
As if something done I do,
Will change with that doing done.
I was thought to be a new 'kid'.
Innocent and absent of wise eyes.
But I...
Have grown accustomed to being mistaken,
For someone else believed recognized.
To later disappoint those who are surface viewers.
'Circus viewers? '
Them too!
