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
