POLYGRAPH
The human body is a polygraph:
the tapping fingers, the scratching
of the throat with the long of one’s
hand, the eyes looking away,
the slow soft gulp of one’s voice
which is screaming a long silent,
“Uh oh!, I got to get our of here!”
Yes it's a polygraph, a lie detector,
no not for others to see, but for
my very being to tell me, “I'm scared,
very scared, very scared ….”
