JAY BESEMER Your Tongue is as Long as a Tuesday
1.C. [Your tongue is as long as a Tuesday.] I want to stop & make you visible, but I don't. I'm shy or perhaps too fond of that thrill of uncertainty. Without solidifying my gaze & my sense of you, I can keep you at liberty. If I can see you, others are sure to. I do want to see you but not explain, not share, not risk you. Not risk you & me. We are at risk.
