angst cycle (iii) 
[F] (vi)
of course 
i’m about as settled 
as a dog ringing the barks 
at a herd of postmen 
 
but when i’m unwanted 
to press the desire 
is more than rude 
it’s disrespect
 
i’m silent 
my office colleagues 
are not staring at me 
from on a coral of tables 
waiting for a warden
 
of course 
if the unwant is a lie 
it’s self–protection
 
it’s never so simple 
of course
