The Off-Guard Room
the last thing I expected
was for this to last
beyond the first blush brush of heat
so when I found myself
looking around
a room I didn’t know I’d entered
I was caught off guard
while you
remained unaware
as if this sort of thing
happened so often
my being caught off guard
didn’t draw your attention
I wasn’t looking
to finding a way out
but wanted a way
that would take me deeper
