4062. NO, I WON'T

NO, I WON'T
For that reason alone, I will not. I remember
seeing that woman before, looking my way while
her dog kept yapping. If she was staring me down
as the source of her woe, no, I won't move on.
Shut down your culprit dog instead : your own
yellow-raincoat flickers in the breaking sun, and
your plastic boots are tragic. I'll do anything
right now to completely mix her up.
-
I've decided, just as well, to never put anything
in the way of myself. You know, I am all that I
have. The river may widen, the river may crest,
but my own craft must float, no matter the rest.
-
Let me take this steamer cap from your head.
No, I won't deliberately hurt you, but it
might happen nonetheless. Yes, you
may wince in pain. No, I won't.
