a ‘fine print’ frame of mind 6/15/18

I‘m in a fine-print frame of mind.

didn’t say I was cynical

but I am suspect.

still have a sense of levity

but doubt it will lead to laughter.

may have a need for glasses

and the potential patience for rereads

and then the self dialogue

of murmured questions

followed by the low drone of quippy answers. 

I am somewhat resistant but assuming 

that I am moving towards their mindset

and they, who wrote all of this,

are not moving towards mine.

I do draw the line 

at the need to understanding legalese. 

and if they are speaking that way

then I will assume the mood of me

is moving towards the worst.

and after a very short period of victimhood, 

I will keep my glasses on,

go outside, 

directly to the garden,

to look closely at leaves and colorful flowers,

for the same fine print experience.

only to be rewarded 

in my mind for then.

the fine print of the sacred cut I see

makes headlines.

and then yes, fine print

does produce amazing revelations 

as rewards . . .
