An light-hearted look, at some nuances of human behaviour, with a bit of poetic licence. Pointing to some stuck points, impasses and the odd double-bind (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bind also see Gregory Bateson).

I want your attention

by Alexandra McCauley

I pretend to have a question
just to get your attention –
but I only want attention
you would give
without the question –
the question
that just got your attention….
So now I have your attention!
… and I don’t want it.

Stay-at-homes

Stay at home

I’d like to go out
but I rarely do
so I’ve dressed to stay at home
as I wouldn’t want to
‘wear’ out
my wearing-out clothes
so I’m in my “stay-at-homes”
and here I stay
because although
I’d like to go out
I rarely do ….

… I’m just not dressed for it.
