deer you

from a recently posted Missed Connection

i deserved it and you
are as the deer

i am not st. francis
i am a no
body

i was walking my dog and a deer
came up to me i fed the deer
when someone passed by and commented

the dog does not stir and the deer
does not stir

i thought it was normal
i have the same way
with horses and most
people:

a deer wandered into my yard the other night there were three

i am not angry or vengeful
i am not jealous but
i knew

an innate talent i am not proud of perhaps

i speak to the world
i post for my
self

  1. this is remarkable... this wasn't really a missed connection, was it? that is a dumb question, this is a good conceit.

    i wish i could be more helpful on this, all i can really say is that i want more. i find this character fascinating and want more, i don't quite grasp why he isn't proud of this talent, i wonder if he can speak to other humans, i want to see that element of faith come back around in the end maybe.
