You linked
me a link.
It was definitely
you.
Not a hijacked
account
spam ops false share. It was you
and I clicked. In trust. And
it
was
a
poem.
Which
I think you wrote
and I read, assuming as much but
it was nothing about me, or us, or
anything we'd discussed, or nature,
or art, or science,
or sex. It was
totally unrelated
and unpleasant! It made
an uncomfortable, awkward
effect wriggle and relax
inside, in a minor disgusting
way - not innate. The poem
itself? OK. If I'd found it
without your help, I'd have loved it
at least a bit. But
because I could not tell what
you wanted at all,
for me to take,
the whole thing
reeled. Stringless and taut
in awkward feel. Loose,
no, loosed - no.
Just loose.
I am a fish unmoored,
in your poem sea. Unyanked,
unswung by line
or hook, there was no opportunity
to wriggle free, no choice to surrender
inevitably, I was so
uncaught
in the moment. I swam and
swum
and I wish
- not quite that you'd linked someone
else - not quite
but I wish you had not linked me. Or
as if you must, I suppose - I wish
you had not left me quite
so free.
Also the rhyme scheme
was incoherent
kinda
