To what degree, to what extent?
To what does it refer?
Do I agree, do I dissent?
With what do I concur?
.
Am I judge, or am I jury?
Am I qualified to know?
Was it grudge, or was it fury?
Was it justified as so?
.
Was it seen, or was it hidden?
Was it cleverly disguised?
Had it been forbidden?
Was it knowingly comprised?
.
Confusion reigns in knots and tangles,
and no-one gains when judgement dangles.

Tim Grace
A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
