23 september

let's each but then only i did

once was a even-money don't-go-over balancing act
a big day in a big way or even many ways
when i handed off and didn't receive
i toppled
ever so slightly
and teetered from then on, really
but if i'm to be honest
and i am
there was plenty of instability
before that point
balance beam teeter totter teetotaler
please, you're welcome
more than thank you

another was funnier
but then not really a laugh
let's get each other fruit bowls
ha and also ha
seeming to plot thickening
and yet
here you go
all thought out
and here i am standing
anyway
blank-handed

it's not that receiving
is really that great
but the imbalance
is harder
than
giving
