The Actor and the Dream

Facebook contact 
With the acquaintance who 
Done me wrong. 
So 
So 
     Very wrong 
So 
So 
     Many years 
     Ago 

What to do ?
     Carefully liking -
     Not commenting -
     Realizing there has been 
          No change 
In 
Ridiculous and 
     Nonsensical
Attitudes
And opinions 

Live and let 
Live 
And 
See what happens with
This newly unblocked 
Line of communication 

It has been ten years 
- A long time to be 
     Unfriended
A long time to be 
Blamed 
And 
Despised
:-)

I have learned so much 
About 
Evil people -
People acting out 
Their own 
Stuff -

Expecting someone else 
To receive their 
Unwarranted 
Anger 

Oh thank God I know better 
Now 
Than to believe in -
     To be affected by 
Some silliness  
Of
Some other 

Some temper tantrum 
Behind some imagined 
Slight 

Thank the Angels 
I can see now 
That behavior belongs to 
     The actor 
     On their own stage 
     In their own drama 
     Of their own creation 

My own stage becoming 
Much more like 
A Zen Garden 
     With a few 
     Well chosen rocks 
     A pine tree 
     A bench 
- For contemplation 
And the seeing 
Of 
The difference between 
The actor and 
The dream
