Poetry: On and off

by Caroline Garlick

Created on: July 12, 2010

It's one of those funny, irksome things you do

When you're anxious or nervous

You can't sit still, so you have to fidget

With something, anything that's within your reach

A set of keys, a book, or the TV remote

I know that something's wrong, it's time to talk

When the lamp next to your seat flickers

On and off

On and off

At the behest of your twitching fingers.
