No-one explains me because <br />There is nothing to explain. <br />It's all right here <br />Very clear. <br />O for my reputations sake <br />To be difficult and opaque! <br /> <br />No-one explains me because <br />Though myopic, I see plain. <br />I just put it down <br />With a leer and a frown... <br />Why does it make you sweat? <br />Is this the thanks I get? <br /> <br />No-one explains me because <br />There are tears in my bawdy song. <br />Once I am dead <br />Something will be said. <br />How nice I won't be here <br />To see how they get it wrong.<br /><br />Carolyn Kizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song-for-muriel/
