On Second Thought Poem by Rick Elpers

On Second Thought



Why do I play the fool
Who's intention is never
Malicious but gets interpreted
As though insult is my goal
Am I that stupid not see my words
As others do lest I be the target
Of that very same affliction
Coming into the light only
As the dance of voices spin dizzily 
Out of control slamming 
Into each other like fists
Uncovered bleeding thoughts
Of reprisal from whom I believe 
To be friendly
