At lunch
I tried
to dismiss you
with a wave of
my hand
I grazed you
unintentionally
gravity overcame you
like a fever
and you sank
like an anchor
tossed into
the sea
crumpled
upon the table
like Icarus
your legs flailing
as if you were reaching
trying fiercely
to hold on to
the tenuous strands
of your life
Overwhelmed
by your desperation
and your palpable fear
I thought
how careless
how craven
how petty
am I
