Tie Me Up in Words


If I say
that I see
what you see
is not
what you say
then
I break the rules
and you will
punish me
until
I say
I do not see
that what you say
is not what you see.

So, instead of saying
what I see,
I say
that I see
only what you say
you see
until all that I do see
is what you say
that you see

So that,
even in my heart
I am not breaking
the rules
because that's one
of the rules.
