staid

game not
played like
others play
it perhaps.

not steady.
not sedate.

wild,fanciful,
and volatile.

the poet's
thoughts
stayed in
place, but
not ever
staid.

not for the
emotion to
show thru -
     the off-the-
        beaten path
           imagery of
       scenery seldom
       seen in twos or
      threes let alone
     fours or fives.

not staid.
