He dislikes tight, white collared shirts.
Dreaming of Thai tees,
of cotton cooling wild ETSI heat,
he fumbles at his throat ~ tie haste.
Ties heat;
He hates tie, while I hate ties.
I make plans to pay a sea tithe
in pennies of pain.
I hesitate,
then eat heist, choking,
swallowing salt water.
Maybe he cries,
wallowing in self-pity.

You quicken my pulse,
I take my path, quicken my pace;
quickly race away —
neither the quick nor the dead
will ever imprison me.
