Wrongly Versed

Wrongly Versed or He doesn't want to play, he wants to be right

I am saying this wrong right now
because I am not saying it the way
you are hearing me say it right now.
I am still saying this wrong right now

because I insist I am not saying it the way
you are hearing me say it right now.
I will always be saying this wrong right now
because I insist I am not saying it the way

you are hearing me say it right now.
We want to participate in something
bigger than ourselves and anything bigger
than you or me is always silently unstressed.

Going about undoing your rules for my voice;
going about undoing my pining for yours:
Verse is a turning only if it turns as it might not as it will;
otherwise, it is simply nothing more than rhetoric.
