(words , how I dislike you )


I am no poet


I move my tongue
around used words

waiting to be exposed
while they pile up outside my gate


___

I no longer trust you

I want to scrape you off me
scrape
scrape

down to my bare numbers

There's something about this I find sort of amusing, even though the tone is calm. I particularly like the phrase "bare numbers", but I can say that this poem is highly unusual and not what I would have expected with that title!

"I want to scrape you off me."
Sometimes it is so with things we love in spite of ourselves.
