There can be such intensity
in our response to something
that may have done no more
than seem to threaten
or attack some place
of hypersensitivity.
A guarded place where
there is vulnerability.
What is it
about our self-sensitivity
that eventually,
more than likely
deduction reveals themes
and messages that seem
out of context
for the apparent demonstration
of the rest of us in our lives?
How is it
to come into acknowledgment
of a greater sense of being
that does not fit the storyline
but still it is there?
Are we not more the contradictions
than the appropriate players
we so easily claim?
Is this what happens
to protectiveness
when it reaches the extreme?
Or is it that normalcy,
in is limitations
of comparative policing
and subsequent monitoring,
create agreement that is of itself
a popular extreme?
That we have placed
cognitive agreement
of the obvious
as an absolute
over what we feel and sense
and tune into yet then disregard?
Who is it in us
that calls out something extreme
as if we can have distance
from it or disown it
or disregard our self
for being of it or with it?
