angst cycle (iii) — [e] (ii)

i don’t want to
take preventing blocking territory
i don’t want to deny
that poetic breathe

but
i might be invited

admittedly
it’s unlikely
one of those out–of–the–mouth comments
that i collected
like shiny translucent stone
that the speaker
probably forgot
before all the breathe
it took to say
had exhaled

but if i’m invited
it’s to the territory
that i might block
if behaviour remains
avoid

as mine has to
dodgems
the pain though of presumption
is by far the lesser

so
if i’m invited
what

really
it’s too late
anyway
i’m forgot
