Attention

Attention, Attention:
A slight Apprehension;
An awkward Ascension;
A calm Intervention.

Arise an erection
Of muddled affection.
Earn a collection
Of Deeper perplexion.

Moments swallow
Lies that ring hollow.
Feeling tomorrow,
I beg and I borrow

On your conscience.
In your complex
Convergence of convex,
I silence my reflex.

Take this then with you:
A party-time see through
Family of issues. Dear
Capulet/Montague.

Time is now running.
Counsel too cunning.
Emotions are humming,
Layed outside for sunning.

So neighbors can see us.
While I am waiting.
Perched high like Zacchaeus
On pensive parading.
