You Make Me Think Faulknerian Thoughts
by Genevieve Dewey
I hate how you don’t see
It must be the forbidden fruit, you say
My God did I just ask
Did I
Yes hush hush stop thinking
think that
Of course you did, it’s natural, you say
To think to want but not really
It’s the forbidden
Yes, that must be
the hush the blush the oh don’t stop
But my mind rebels
I can see that, you say
I don’t really want it I just want
You want it
to think it
Do you see what I mean
Oh stop stop stop thinking
No I see the hushed blush, you say
The held breath
Oh God but if I just don’t say it
Then it doesn’t count
no one has to hear it
Except in your mind, you say
I don’t really want to be
There we can’t, you say
your fruit
Here we can, you say
we can’t you see I don’t want to
I wasn’t asking, you say
Oh oh oh oh
Hush
I see…
