Gamesmanship

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 14, 2019 

Outside
looking in.
Seeing
differently,
apart from.
Observing
interactions
discerning
rules.
Questioning
motivations.
Why?
Why things
happen as
they do.
Fish bowl
etiquette,
rules unique.
Rules
as to
gamesmanship.
In the
bowl
rules apply
apply
to all.
All interact
according to
rules,
rules
laid down
long ago.
Game designed...
