Inconvenience
You are like the leaf
that falls on my windshield
that is just far enough away
from the wiper blades
not to be swept out of sight.
You are like the stone in my shoe
that I can't get to
because I'm in a meeting
and I'm wearing shoes with laces,
and I don't want people to notice
that you have my attention.
You are like the zoo animal
behind the fence.
I look at you and admire your height.
You look at me with such longing
and I can't tell if you're yearning for freedom
or just for the popcorn I'm holding.
