uneven words

this tri-fold cd cover
filled
unsymmetrical
with words
lines wanting to extend past the nine columns
uneven words
backed by uneven melody

she doesn't know
the beginning of this commitment
I am making
I have avoided
and these words were uneven
for my even mind

but
understanding these words
this time
is different
evolution is occurring
and she is watching/wincing

the words are not becoming even
I have uncovered 
the unsymmetrical
the uneven 
the choppy waters of mid-ocean tides
in my mind
