Business

I lined up my words
one by one and
locked them in a glass case
so that you can see
them on display.


WARNING: BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY


Until then, they remain
confined
so they don’t get out
into the real world
and run around
recklessly, in circles,
chasing your name –after all,
according to the world,
my words have no business with you.
