You with your post-primitive hair
and your eyelids
stop teasing
we're all in on the secret
though mum
ten times i've told you
in operatic tones
ten times i've curtseyed
before you a rose in my teeth
my heart is all stomach ache
with regret
opportunities for truth squandered
polite smiles and pleasantries
today let's speak free
