“Out of Order”
Write a poem about something that is out of order - you could take a literal approach, or try to work in a metaphorical theme.
Out Of Order, In Plain Sight
“Out of Order”
The sign reads
I suppose it makes sense
Among other things
And as I read it
I smile
I smile because
They’re in denial
They look at that sign
And shake their heads
And they don’t notice
When I’m crying in bed
They look at that sign
And say “Not true”
But they don’t know the things
I say to you
They look at that sign
Then they look at me
They say “Did you put up that?”
And I point to the sky “No, it was he.”
He who made me
He who died
But they still shake their heads
Like I’m telling a lie
They think it’s wrong
They think I put it there
They think I lie
But truly, it’s been there, bare; in plain sight
