gesturing, pointing, naming,
tracing, making temporal friends

i am mostly afraid
of having to call it
harassment –
i see you coming
and pull out
headphones,

that you won’t

and once again,
damned if you do
damned if you don’t

else seems so
fixed, your body
becomes defenseless
at the sound of a name
