human needs

“i didn’t

disagree—

surely, you see,

that my silence

didn’t mean i don’t

agree.”

sorry,

it is hard

for me to see how—

when I’m being used,

misused and abused,

disregarded and disrespected

before your own two eyes,

verbally stripped down in earshot—

that your sustained silence,

sleepless and systemic,

means you’ve ever

agreed.

that’s just more seed—

scatological scatter

to plant more weeds—

while ignoring the deeds

done to this one,

who also has

human needs.
