Venetian Blinds
I have never been to Venice
But I kinda like the mention.
These fat slats keep out war and peace.
Release me from string quartet practice.
Refraction may be thought impolitic
or impolite at least. Listen to others'
instincts popping up outside. Imagine
envy and what might put a cork in it.
Veer away from off-white blades turned down.
Stay in, keep out distractions. Let be the
asymmetry, don't force away
some artificial joining. Deflect
pot shots dis- or misremembered. Pleasantries
don't equal trees. Nor do weeds. And breezes
can be kept apart from wrinkling leaves and branches.
Maybe keep yourself to yourself and just breathe.
