Obtuse

OBTUSE

–adj.
1. not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not sensitive or observant; dull.
2. not sharp, acute, or pointed; blunt in form.
3. (of a leaf, petal, etc.) rounded at the extremity.
4. indistinctly felt or perceived, as pain or sound.



In despair
I called you a liar and a cheat.
You laughed
Blaming me for being obtuse
For being incapable
Of solving the riddle in your eyes
The anagram.
