the way I feel scared for reasons that are not you
makes me think I am maybe perhaps only just outside the gates.

You sat and waited like
any good predator.
Some game, however, is
not for consumption.

You have the emotional casting of
this septuagenarian man, 
with his shifting and blaming and
topically indirect concerns and I
can only imagine how you paint me
to your next victim.

Maybe I will just stay up forever and
the sun won't ever come up and
maybe that would be just fine.

Today I only turned in circles once while my brain spun through commands like slot machine wheels.
