I love this! I hear Sylvia Plath here and maybe a bit of "good fences make good neighbors." I love the way it ends with a mirror to show us our own hypocrisy. Very funny and a little terrifying too!
Is it possible for humans to not take sides. I suppose there has been a few over the centuries. But it is very difficult. I believe everyone does not want to look behind the curtain. I usually make an attempt. Thank You again.
Damn, I wish I could think this poem was about "those other people". I am so enraged and afraid about what's happening in this country that it's hard to to keep an open heart or mind. Thanks for the reminder to keep trying.
Thank you! Getting compared to Plath and Frost makes my day!

I truly enjoyed the broken villanelle structure. I love the universality of our “broken”. Points of view. So captures this strange era of division!
Thanks for this. Any effort to heal through art is valuable and commendable!
Beautiful and painfully true.

Sorry the book was about Mina Loy by Mary ann Caws🤷🏻♀️🥱
It was okay. Always like your voice. My tv in the background. Turned off my iodine that was a book reading about Mina Caws. The bird is nice.😷💘
Methinks I perceive a wee bit O'Burlesque if not O'Blarney.
