subject
to the misguided
judgement
of my own
ignorance
plunging forth
into the quagmire
of an embarrassing
learning curve
that lingers
as a remembrance
a warning
a cautionary
tale
of stupidity
a simple error
yet
consequences
played out
w/witness
or more
the little ones
no jail time
or fine
merely
the shaming
of the ass
that reflection
clear as day
unable
to hide
what is done
is done
not forgotten
faux pas galore
a fool's errand
the jester
as jerk
clueless
and caught
red handed
never bloody
as it’s origin
simply
called out
a confession
of guilty
lashes the ego
in penance
intellectually
the flagellation
becomes
a forever reminder
as my own
private screening
of the man
in robes
hailing
and marking
as if a cross
of my own volition
as the devil sits
shoulder
egging on
this fairy tale
’tis not
that evil
a hand
to a flame
to feel
the pain
as understanding
even
w/wisdom gathered
year
after year
still never
immuned
to boner
yet again
as all ways
subject
to the misguided
judgement
of my own
ignorance
