This is my 3 poem

 This is my 3 of 3 poem

How to Disappear


You had been swinging restlessly

between the appearance of spontaneity

and the appearance of serious thought.


You had been changing lanes

after a glance

in a mirror honest about

its tendency to distort.


What choice did you have?


It was soothing to watch

wisps of smoke

from a nearby chimney

disappearing

one by one.



Do you like pulses,


ridges, ripples

stretching into obscurity?


Would you prefer a flicker

to a steady light source?


This one stutters

slightly,

 

hesitant,

as if it could hold something

in reserve.
