Rightly so, assumes some matter-of-fact
decision has assessed a way to manage
what might recall, what might extract,
the cost of consequential damage.
.
Rightly so, presumes the essence of a deal
as in the unwritten lore of a lover's kiss;
as in the passionate fall that makes it feel
so real, so close to perfect as it is.
.
Rightly so, can justify a two-faced coin,
qualify the virtues of almost anything.
It can codify the principles we use to join
together the loose-ends of wondering.
.
Within Yang and Yin all things are placed;
then, “let not right perfection be so disgraced”.

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.
