Homer's (the blind man's) poetry as seen by the waiter

"Iliad III"
 

  As life is mis-led by

mis-trust

mis-understanding

mis-interpretation

mis-communication

mis trust and other misses

where missing the point

insisting on common viewpoints,

I have my own standpoints.  

 
  Misleading

Miss Athena

fires the fool on

to break the truce

at Troy...

... the mind plays tricks with him

who otherwise should know much better...

...just as the mind is designed to do,

to create and analyze critical

until an opposite current

switches the

straight-line-thinking

to a closed mind

where desires

dictate

thought-patterns

and

Athena brushing

the young man's vitals

so gentle alive with one breath

at the arrow's shaft and bursting with

strength does he agree to aim his bow wherever

...it pleases her.  
 

"Show me..."
Athena therefore demands
breathing hard... so close "can your..."
and harder, getting closer "...arrow hit this Menelaus from here?"

Any similarity fitting the reader is done

on purpose, names are not been changed,

no innocence is protected.

May you wear the glass slipper if it fits

with royal pride and never feel hurt

by a fool's tongue sticking out at you.
