E.E.

man,

don't say don't to me

you know,

defiant as I am

negation is the arrowed path to desire.

your wife,

she came not

into my consciousness before you spoke,

creates headached friendship

terminated visitations;

miniatured female appeals little

the lure of your insecurity

urging me not to take her

thus forcing me into a situation

that interests me only a little.

don't don't me and we shall be friends.

one
