All it takes is a bad poem (example):
I've been standing in the dark. It hasn't been too long now. Its been....
But then again it may have been longer yet.
Standing...
Waiting -- inviting Aha butterflies - they refuse my call.
...Baiting -- maybe you'll love me still; shall I wear red or pink? Maybe I'll just stay blue.
....Chasing -- the love that flew away; I simply want to see where it lands... honest.
Wasting -- my energy in things forgotten and best so; the past is a minefield.
Yet I move. On? No. Away? Nay.
All I see is that light shining in the distance.
It may be you;
It may be artificial.
All I Know is I've been left standing in the dark. It hasn't been too long.
But then again it may have been longer yet.
