best heard with headphones
It was hid amidst a conversation gone
Wrong. As many conversations are want
As they go on
And on.
A frigid word intoned,
Or misconstrued as rude in tone
Or simply faux-
(pho)nemes recklessly chose
As a simple means to deliver meaning.
Given.
Taken.
Implied — by one or both sides
Who, once tied to their rightness,
Assured their truth alone is correct,
Or at least corrective within the collaborative mess,
Are set affixed, to run forever: parathetic.
Parathetic
Here meaning: to be set aside; together, but apart; as if contained within parenthesis.
