Yes officer I am not resisting
just that I would
explain
the sign was at head height
to tell me not to stand
I rose to it to see it
cut me down and I am all
under arrest. So stop.
That's an option too
perhaps disproportionate
but something to think
& mark my words
down into you every time
they cut you they cut me
we're different kinds of a mess
but a mess
I made one with my sister
in rapture
on purpose & because of trouble
it made our glee
we met there. & I have your key
and it's shit.
Not your key but that I have it
that I've singularised some guilt there.
But here, I almost always
think of you.
