September. 17, 1976 1:00 a.m. Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Me & You

ME:

I am complex
A phantasmagoria on two legs
A troubled, worried
Saddened wreck
Walking about with a smile
I will laugh
And I will always betray myself
I am like that
I wish I knew you better

You. 
How can I know what you're like
You seem simple
A sheer vision of perfection
Om a world of broken dreams
A lovely radiant
Beam of hope
Beackoning to joy
So he may follow.
And you'll both have a grand time.

And when complexity and simplicity
meet
The juxtaposition will hurt the eyes.

1976
