Twice Removed



I scratched the back of my neck to make it all less obvious,
but I did a bad, bad thing---
as they call it

I tried to hold my head up and stare straight ahead,
but it's hard to not look back
and I had to try very, very hard---
to not move my eyes from right to left---
the shift would be noticeable

I tapped each of my fingers from once to tense
and then I realized I was much, much too loud

I made some percussive moves with those feet of mine
right up until they could call it a twitch,
or until they could tell just passed it off as an enigma

I just wanted my glasses---
because they could always uncloud this---
and bring forth the sunny, sunny disposition
