Please do not touch
please
today
touch me not
keep a distance
you sit on the couch
I will wash dishes
see me not
I’ll be okay
cheer me not
or I feel a debt I cannot pay
make no noises
nerves will explode
I am silent
I do not respond
it is not personal
please understand
I am sorry
today

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
We all have such days, don’t we? When we’re down and feeling utterly hopeless for no reason and we just want to be alone. Though I hope you’re feeling better now.

It was just a snapshot of the kind of day that comes along, sometimes. Thank you Pradita.
