THE FORCE FIELD
Always
on, keeping
threat at bay,
usual suspects
at arms length,
yet never calling
yet never calling
attention
to itself.
Like
a lie that masks
the
truth, a yes
that
hides a no,
it
is there
out
in the open
yet invisible.
A
feigned interest
that
conceals fear.
An
intimacy
that baits the trap.
A diffidence
A diffidence
that snaps it shut.
Avoidance that tases
like love.
Avoidance that tases
like love.
