i . . .

never wanted

is a lie . . .

i tell myself

all too oft . . .

i never know

but only kind-of

a double negative

called on in vain

. . . the nominal

image-of fronted

by full denial . . .

. . . just in case!

if at the stroke

of pumpkins,

the satin fails

. . . to please,

in after taste !

i never wanted

no i never want

i never wanted!

. . . my mistakes

all these desires

pushing out

their horses . . .

after my carriage

. . . but still

this reflection

smuggles its

coyest smiles

. . . innocent,

inconsquential

at the trial . . !

cause after-all

i never wanted.
