“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
