Perspectivity: The Tale Of The Queen & The Sad One Poem by Kendra Muecke

"There is something in the air tonight, "

said The Sad One to The Queen,

"I was walking around outside and-"

She then proceeds to halt talking,

as The Queen lowers her head,

and whispers nonchalantly—

Something I cannot hear,

Since, I am just a distant observer writing.

A secret of the trade


—to share ideas without mocking—


Like a bird,

The Sad One begins to chirp.

She runs excitedly

to her palace balcony

on the Eastside of Brooklyn, New York.
