The Muddled Ask

I wasn’t quite ready

To say what I said

To ask for another portion

Of the blinking red

Light

I could have known

That my words would be

Arranged

In a strange manner

So I just packed it in

For the night

And left for bed

Electric Steer

With my hands off the wheel

Waiting room mints in my pocket

I wait as the launch goes

As quick as a rocket

From this direction

I can see a hopeful sign

Of growth

To become more fully realized

Is my hope

Grate Tongue

A great tongue

Or a grate tongue

Is the difference between

Hope and death

Optimism

And pesimissim

Yet the same words

Can yield such

Vastly different results

Hurled insults

Or praises

Can be raised to the sky above

So I must decide today

Which path to take

Which hope to say

To move forward

In a positive way
