reasons you should not pat my head on the subway, a poem

[rm]

I don't know you.
I did not give you permission.
I am not a small child.
Or a dog.
We are not playing Duck, Duck, Goose.
Where have your hands been?
I hate you.

Clear?

I agree. I was quite vocal about that as a kid, but adults thought my screaming, kicking, and punching when adults picked me up was cute and hilarious. really, everyone's lucky no one got bit.
