Someone watches your laptop
While you use the john
Someone holds your bag
While you tie your shoe
Someone lets you cut to the front of the line
Someone asks so you let him take a bite
That's not ownership, is it?
It's simply not his
Someone writes his name on your things
A man pisses on your little plot
A man eats from your plate in the hall
A man says something you know to be untrue
That's not ownership, is it?
It's simply not his
Picked me up a tea at the grocer
Wrong flavor, but how can I complain?
From the car I leer at your tan legs
Hardest part of ownership I swear
How best to good give rest to persistent
thoughts that won't relent:
