If we are so coveted
By grasping hands
Fingers prodding and pulling
Measuring and beckoning
Pushing us this way and that
Then let us also be
Objectionable
To their sensibilities
So that the hands
May falter in spite of themselves
And lose their grip
At least some of the time

If we are so coveted

Measuring and beckoning
Pushing us this way and that
Then let us also be
Objectionable
To their sensibilities
So that the hands
May falter in spite of themselves
And lose their grip
At least some of the time
When they go low we go high
