You’re Responsible for This

If Avedon perusing Arbus
Could claim her photographs will make you
Be responsible for what you see,

Then each word you’ve ever seen or heard
Could make you become responsible
For what this means. Interpretation

May not be the whole of meaning, but
It’s how meaning behaves when meaning
Behaves self-consciously. Did you know

Meanings have selves to be conscious of?
They do. Not always. Your attention
Births them as apparently guileless

As infants, but they’ll explore their worlds.
You all know how meanings grow. Meaning
Adolescents start interpreting.
