game
we learned
how to play
with ourselves
would have to
have been
Peekaboo—then
Hide-and-Go-
Seek was king—
before it full-
bloomed into
See Something,
Say Something.

What do I like best about myself?
My inability
to take compliments.
You might view this
as a detriment;
but I use it
as a gift-
card
(which never expires)
kept safe
in its wallet but
not yet
redeemed.
*
It is written in the skies
which we're so keen
to look to
and nod to each other
and call diamond-
blue
or blood-red
when it's
not true:
it's hard to be understood—
even harder to
be seen.
