Right Hand Raised

She used the word “Extensive” on me
To, maybe, dazzle my senses
Knowing I wouldn’t know a misuse
Or the difference
Just the feeling
Of getting slapped with a word
That’s supposed to induce clarity
Yet promotes ambiguity
As walls, probed under a microscope,
Are full of holes

The transact, this dance
Garnished dish
The importance of setting
The tone and ambience
The line where you can push for affirmation
From the jaws of rejection
And by rear view
Fuel what you already knew

These things that only seem real until somebody is convinced
Until one soul believes
