Express your friendship for a while
by obnoxiousness. When vile
you touch the one you love in ways
that are not some mere passing phase,
expressing the essential you
which otherwise is out of view
when you attempt to be polite
while putting up a hopeless fight,
but do take care when being rude
that you’re insured, in case you’re sued.
