I'm underwhelmed by the overtones
in the compliments delivered
by sly hands moving backward
in new snakeskin oil gloves.   
My identity
won't be traded;
I do not
buy your
words.
Objectification.


This poem is written in the form of a Nonet, a nine line poem with decreasing numbers of syllables per line, going from nine in the first to 1 in the last.
