ALL APOLOGIES # 003

I’m sorry
I don’t know how to be with you.
I’m an only child
who has been spoiled and sheltered
so long
that I no longer remember how to share.
The fundaments of community
are lost on me, you see.
I am best on my own
and better off alone.

I would want to be with you
to know how to please another
but that is a skill set I currently lack.
Perhaps
I can reacquaint myself
with living in society
and then
you might have me?

Until then
I’m afraid
the toilet seat stays down
and you get used to it
or stay out.
