Provoke Poem by Sarah Sisson

What can we talk about today?
Is this topic so sensitive
that even in secret jest
you will not participate?
I can be so selfish
needing subtle innuendos
to complete my day.
I tantalize myself
with curiosity withheld.
I provoke you
and you have some power
to not respond.
I like this feeling I have though.
I know what you are thinking
even without a word or expression.
I will not push you any longer.
I know what goes on
in your mind now.
