She couldn't say no
when asked directly
the thought of being nuisant-ly
was enough to drive her outward
abandoning the thoughts of the self
and all its many idiosyncrasies
the self-born inability to be burdensome
facilitated the transformation of self
into someone else
who was still she-y
but also very much
an apparition of the requester
with all the touch
of a Tokyo godfather
Yakuza bossesque
she maybe would cut off the fingers
of her lieutenants and her clients
saying it's all the same
even as they morph themselves
into someone very much her
only an exhale before
