Obstacle

Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)

I didn't mean to be an obstacle to your vision
,to cloud your perfect day.
I really should consider the things i do or say.
You has organized reality in such a perfect way.
Forgive me my transgression,
I forgot i played a part,
and my lines and responses,
 i should know by now by heart.
It was just a small attack of freedom
a slight divergence from the path.
