Reading Signs

I must have been retarded

Ignoring feelings again

Delaying to be discarded

Harsh words saved, but by her friends bombarded

Building foundations on a quake zone

Should have packed and moved

Should have left well enough alone

But the fallback girls were unknown

I disregarded the faults

And waited for the crack

Now I know my seismograph works

And that she has a nice rack

No need for further tests

Nor outlay of expenses

I’m a wishful thinker though

So I’ll probably doubt the readings and senses
