Spoken Word: Effect of Timing

Effect of Timing



It seems that
I always arrive after
After some devastating
Aftermath
She has endured

Where I am seen as
A liability
Another edition
Of whatever has happened
Previously

Broken and dismembered
I look past those things
Exactly silly optimistic me

But I have always been able to
Spot the treasure behind
The wizard of Oz curtain

I use to be the cleanup man
Taking care of them
After their traumatic
Remnants

Now I perform surgery
For my very own
Edification and self-gratification

Leaving there on the table
The absolute of
No expectations
No future of joined creation

Only the moment remains
Whether fleeting
Or a semi long term thing

I am the prisoner
On call physician
And recipient of

Their obvious
Oblivious
Timing
