selfish (Free verse) by <~>
When I drew a line
around what was mine
the way you had always done
when we were kids--
like when we'd fight
over the joystick
and play space invaders
up past our bedtime
with no understanding
of the miasma of metaphors
we were winding, binding, hiding
in our seething ids--
and you,
you never would
let me win.
Once
I drew that line,
I didn't want
any of it,
only you.
