COMMOTION
 
what is this commotion
as if you are overwhelmed by feelings
as if you are unconnected, as if
without regard

what is this commotion as if you have no choice
as if you have abandoned your senses, as if
without hope

what is this commotion as if
you are confessing
as if you hadn't said it before, as if
without passion

what is this commotion
as if a supplication
as if to abdicate, as if
without courage

what is this commotion as if you are dying
as if dying would make it clearer, as if
without thought

what is this commotion, this distraction
as if it were simply about you, as if
without respect

what is this distraction as if it were simply about you
as if
without love

Faygie, what is this, as if
without any
thing at
all
