Being the first
non-trivial
calculating control
unwanted responsibility
burning with
impatient anger
vulnerability
innocence
a mind like an open book
hands ask for permission
every attempted kiss
a question
You want me to be Juliet
-- and I am Brunhilde
in memoria kafka
this is punishment
bombs
in electronic envelopes
ticking
one every cycle
they stuff your channels
crowd your terminal
with meaningless chars
until
you respond
body language encoded
with positively charged bits
