Why does the word ‘no’ affect people so?
that an umbrage, however slight
they seem to take, and opaque disappointment
appears on the face
O poesy for this little guilt trip on this
scarce trodden road which none else know
beneath fair Luna’s guiding glow
So say the wolves from the darkness
of the wood:
/Hey you, illumed, your trip
is your own alone/
then they feast upon the echoes of my
NO! NO! NO!
