Strange thing, an allergy.
An act of protest—

Even at the molecular
level I am in revolt.

Punky. Itchy.
It smacks a bit

of betrayal—
Why rise up

in welts
without clarity

of position,
or at least

a list
of demands?

I say
the unexplainable

should at least be
placatable—

each drag
of the nail

is relief
and regret—

to say, pick a side,
is only reasonable.

Here, I’ll even draw
the line.
