Puppet
(To the Editor)
By Tatiana Pahlen

Keep your hands off me — I am emotional,
Don't disrupt my monologue!
Look, I'm stirring on my own
Your strings have failed to stop my motion.
My limbs are full of life and joy
I'm playful like a puppy
Whilst you grow old on Gin and joints
To overpower the puppet.
