ANACHRONISM (assigned V5)
Not conversant with the words between
The lines that make men great
Faced with my own identity, unseen,
In the mirror's counterweight,
A dust storm on a foreign sun,
Obscure love and hopeless notes,
Comfortable with palms and birds
At least including Mozart's
Up and dressed each day by three,
Countering rudimentary swimwear:
This admittedly is me;
Or alternatively, who?
An explorer under house arrest,
An astronomer before the moon,
A dying letter unaddressed,
Love without an afternoon
