Tammie
hangs
upside down,
legs
wrapped
around
the metal pole,
body
twisted
serpentine.
Are you still thinking
about
Raymond?
I blink at her.
It takes
a while
for me to process
what she's saying.
Her
apologetic
smile
is also upside down.
'Mn.'
Her
upside down
smile
widens.
Get out. You're distracting me
from practice.
I get up
and leave
just like
she asked.
Raymond
isn't adverse
to Li Wen's advances.
I decide
that
this has been true
for a long time,
not just
yesterday.
He never rejects her,
no matter how
pushy
or invasive
she is.
Sitting in his lap,
stealing his food,
whispering
in his ear.
He could push her away,
tell her no.
But he doesn't.
Just turns red,
finds objects around him interesting
all of a sudden.
He...
doesn't know
how to say
no?
Or maybe...
He wants it?
That's the problem
I've decided
to confront today.
It's not your problem.
