Presence

a poem from back in the day
I want to sit and cross my legs,
And you are sitting near.
I read some lines and sip my tea,
But you are sitting here.
I shift my seat and take my time,
Warm my hands to ease my mind,
Glance your way, at your repose,
Shift again and scratch my nose,
I focus on the page and mug,
Encouraging a mental shrug,
Trying, trying to prepare – 
But you are sitting there.
And I, who need not elsewhere be
Have no more room for me.
