decency


if I was bending my back to your wall
I should pause before breaking
and thank you for the lesson.


and you, of
course would bow and saddle the truth
like it was a lie.

(yes you know, so nod

nod your head. )

this is a dangerous game.
when your words are not even yours anymore.

I, being their hostage
must prepare to move, to scatter

there is proper etiquette in this situation.
