You stole my pose

Auguste,
  I am irritated.

When did you come forward,
  and why did it make you create?

Take it back,
  only to turn it to stone?

Moment,
  chin on my hand,
  quiet contemplation.

Now,
   mocked as a statue,
     while only doing what comes natural.

:: perhaps the quiet and philosophical ones are often misunderstood... :: very moving work, monsieur jon... i relate to it a lot... been mocked quite a bit...

As long as you don't take the shrill words to heart. I know you will keep placing your words like a mason building a road forward. Thank you, my friend.

"mocked as a statue, while only doing what comes natural"

great two lines there.

there is an abstractness to your writing that makes us probe the lines with much thought...

i really like your minimalist style...

Thank you, sir! Day to day, I tend to make those around me stop, and say "Wait a second..."
Might as well carry the feel to my writing!
