ACQUAINTANCE

 

REAL AND NOT SO REAL PEOPLE

when drawn

and identified

and

portrayed 

in a box

or frame

or spelled right

dangled by unvisible ropes

on pages 

or parchments

as scrolls

and

those

against

a backdrop

of buildings

and mountains

and water or trees

or school yards

or rooms bureaucratic

and 

appointed or proclaimed

in memories

on pedestals crumbling

in niches invisible

the unreal

obscure the real

as 

the mind and the person

gloom

elsewhere

for the real 

school taught

elder taught

state taught

eternal

simple dimension
