life, since they actually met 8/23/19


sincerity and expectation have a burdensome relationship 
within one’s self-consciousness.
sincerity, making plain and natural.
expectation, living for outcomes.
neither having the other’s back.
yes, there are occasions when they appear to be
one in the same, ongoing.
but the origins are developed 
in extremely different ways.
sincerity would like the heart 
to be the source of their existence,
while expectation has been trained to seek
the success of a storyline
manufactured from the immediacy 
of the worldly props imagined at hand.
how much interface do they mutually share
in reality settings as life unfolds?
some beings manage this with calm and flair
while others battle internally as a result
of what eventually outwardly occurs.
not that either actually wins
but war-torn becomes facially and behaviorally evident.
sincerity can have a brutal appearance
and expectation can crawl up and just hurt.
yes, there are attempts at internal consolation.
none of which has to be evident to the world around.
the timing and rhythm of each person is affected
as these two work it out within.
some glide, while others pause and ponder.
resolution can be a life’s work and effort,
for it’s more than a two horse race as existence.
but these two have prominence and needs
as we all have forked tongues.
some make melody
while others are ever cacophonous, 
ongoing . . .
