I don’t know, and we all have to decide for ourselves what works.
I should keep a sign in the crooks of my arms
(where I store up most of my hugs
….the rest of which
are clamped against my chest)
That reads,
“People who fuck up my groove
Are not welcome here.
BEGONE, TRESPASSERS!”
It would be written with a firm hand
In an emotional shade of paint,
One that says SHE IS NOT MINCING WORDS,
NO SIR OR NO MA’AM, SHE REALLY
MEANS THIS SHIT.
It, that sign I mean,
Would save me and maybe some others
A whole mess of sorry troubles.
Possibly a couple of stamps here and there, too.
