Ghost
I am not
I do not hear until I say
I am not a part unless I make it so
There is no need of me ...
No requirement for my assistance
No need of my (extensive) skills
No desire of my creative acumen or product
Or my (now seemingly) useless experience 'sous les draps'
The iPhone rattles not, without initial prompt
No joyous "ping!" without a prior "send"
No rhythmic knuckling applied to my door, short a package, (from me)
No smiling facade without fur around it
No warm company beside me, sans fuzzy tail or purr
And should I pass, it would be days, (literally)
Before the funk brought response
But at least I'd be home
And unconcerned.
