sometimes

I feel like Dexter in the sense of wanting to strap
people to a table and ask them some questions
about how they experience interpersonal reactions.
In the workplace, particularly.
And if they're actually interested in what anyone in particular says.
Most conversations are so
cautious. Dull. Safely banal. And even if not, still
A dance. A playing of roles.

Teach me how to play (I won't kill you after!)
