Poetry: Failing

by Angella Muse

Created on: October 24, 2007

This side down. I'm sure they got it wrong. So simple. Uncomplicated.
Even the challenged understood.
I see it now. Ah, yes it makes perfect sense.
The angle was all wrong. I could have done that.
But I really wanted to explore the more intricate approach.
Given the opportunity I would surely achieve the desired result.
Given the opportunity I would surely change consensus.
Given the opportunity I would surely gain their approval.
I thought it was obvious to everyone. They should have accepted my solution.
It worked in theory. All results should say "up".
Well maybe I misinterpreted the reading. I'm sure I performed it right.
That's right! Up is down. How could I miss that.
Even the challenged understood.
Uncomplicated. So simple. They say I got it wrong. This side is still down.
I cannot rise to meet it.
