i am -
your early impulse
to be striking
your need to be
daring
your want to be
abusive and lustful
all wrapped up into
one discreet package
of black on white
and darkness played off
against a wilting sunlight
i am -
an obstacle to
your better judgment
a glitch in your program
and backseat driver on
the road to perdition
another thorn in
your well-perforated side
a feather in your cap
carried off into
the wind
and in the end
after another failed attempt
to draw your attention
