This is getting embarrassing

Pour-soi
--------------------

In between this line
You will see a sign
Of how hard I tried
To have this signified
Less degree and more difference in kind.

It is a messier affair than we once thought
To have our time and the cake we bought,
But suffice to say its more difficult by far
To limn the world with tear-drops and stars.

So will you not please
Take the time to seize
Whatever is in reach,
And say not my peach,
For I 'spect the words are nothing more than a tease.
