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.

Poetry: Failing
She stared at her paper
always taking every second
possible to pour
over the questions.
If she lost even one point,
if there
I dropped the ball
We could have won it
The team's first trophy
In fifty-eight years
It's a funny feeling
How much I was pitied
The
FAILURE
Open your eyes and seize the day
Take a breath and ready your shoes
You might become a house hold name, as they say
But
Struggling
The days pass with wasted time;
Life measured away by clocks.
I stand alone in my dark hours,
As night calls me
by Dea
THE INTERPRETER
Allowing the Spirit to
sweep through its Channel from
the bitter past is the only qualification to
gain
