that box I put you inA Poem by DaniElle LaPointe
it isn't that
I care So much about how you vote
your reply included the trifecta Masculinity Misogyny Protecting his Freedom of speech Yet you buffered with the quick report that shortly upon hearing him speak you
skipped it
as settled using
defining
words Maybe that text was only
three corners of the box I've tried not to
put
you in Yeah it was a catalyst sad to say I've been so soft for you others would
never
even
demand (dontputmeinabox DANIELLE) they'd ask of me and the
edges of their fear would be legible in the request blunted by placation softly saying please my problem lies within craving your bossiness is it that we are very much alike Or no, maybe so far apart in thinking that none of this makes any sense My friend since age ten said "He isn't right for you Danielle." Not because of you being
some mean kind of guy But... because the fourth corner is simply this: I'd probably eat you alive © 2023 DaniElle LaPointe |
