Don’t mind me.
I’m gingerly negotiating
this space fraught with
ideas, absurdities, and
irreconcilable differences.
I’m of a mind to
chuck it all and navigate
someone else’s field for
at least a little while,
and see what may be gleaned.
Speak your mind
before someone else does
the speaking for you. Don’t
worry about the shrapnel;
it only hurts when they laugh.
Never mind.
This is mostly illusion
anyway, although most
of the pitfalls are real
and possibly explosive.
Mind your manners;
they will come in handy
when you have to deal
with the after effects
and resulting injuries.
Keep an open mind
and don’t judge others
whose fields might not
be as fertile as yours.
Boom! One step too far.
