TO BE A GO BETWEEN

To be a go between
as two lovers
is not to take sides
under the covers
of a bed
not to be discovered
by games
of checkers or politics
black or red
by getting a check
in our spirit instead,
or letting in our licks
as a didactic poet,
or playing tricks,
betting, even cheating
or forgetting
the unchecked panegyrics
of those between their sex,
built without guilt
in different curves
like concave or convex
in life they may emerge
and eventually manage
to converge or merge
like serving doubles
it may be not easy
knotted in dual troubles
to make any activity
or react with doubt
as we learn to pout
almost psychologically,
or to superficially boast
from the over reach
in our discerned proclivities,
or to be too queasy
at our official abilities
when all ways
seem at an end
we act crazy or pretend
that nothing is real
in an attempt not to feel
or reveal,
others may
equally share
their artistic specialties
yet beware
in what we are ourselves
are initially missing
to be aware
of being dissed
by other critics
or raising up
any artificial
prosthetic difficulties
by leaning over
to reflect
at our own city journey
with no effect
having on our minds
to be restored to more
than one meaning.
