Today and tomorrow are the final days of this challenge. We've got this!
For today’s prompt, write a response poem. The poem can be a response to anything--a piece of news, some art, a famous (or not so famous) quotation, or whatever. However, I thought it might be a cool opportunity to respond to a poem that you've written this month. If both poems work, it could make an interesting dynamic to have two (or more) poems that interact with each other.

something i have to take it
at face value whether or
not meanings are hidden
beneath the surface are
beyond me & if you
disguise your intentions
prepare for me to fall
for them & don't wonder
if
