Buck the System

i think you'd prefer
if i didn't get all choked up
fist nervously clenching on the words
that won't, don't, can't say
''you touched me'
without flying and screaming

i think it'd be easier
if I was removed
able to say
a pretty thing, the
sweet, ebullient thing

rather than these
excessive, effusive
things
that don't rely on directives
for meaning
