Would you be satisfied
If I squeezed myself
Into a ball
For you to use for
kick-ups?
_____________________
Would you be delighted
If I only ever
Folded backwards,
Always available for your
Special kind of
Push-ups?
_____________________
Would you like me
To throw out my shoes
So I can only walk on tiptoe,
And be largely unobtrusive
To your little ego?
_____________________
Like tears in the rain,
Your answers mean nothing,
And I will stop searching in vain,
For light where darkness remains.
