this place
is NOT
big enough for us both
animal inclinations on autopilot
bearing my claws
hissing my disapproval
swiping at you for good measure
this is where I draw the line!
…
and then you move me out of your way
with your will,
coupled by your two hands
placing me down soft enough for my ego
to withstand the removal and new landing place
then walk beyond the line in the sand
unimpeded
and I ponder
what can I ever stand for
if I can be so easily, moved out of the way
I think my fight has become more of
instinct and principle
because by myself
I’m not strong enough to stop anything
and anyone
by myself
at least not in this state of being
