Leash

You slam a 'do-not-enter' in my face.
It locks me out, licks its paws, and purrs.

I pray for it to sway in silence,
from thought to clement second thought.

The room is full of your perfumed arrogance.

Newspaper in hand, I wriggle
under my seat belt of etiquette,
and glance furtively at the weather forecast.
