writing project... from one word prompt... (refuse)

refuse, or re-fuse, or, like, 
draw a circle anyway, and recognize yourself.

refuse or accept––or just write me a damn check and be on your way, except,
oh yeah, I don't get paid, you do, right, and I like to keep it that way, it's so personal.
It's more tantalizing. 
I try to receive, but sometimes it bounces right off me…. or I give something back, in return, 
too speedily–– 
as if something were off balance in the universe suddenly, and it is up to me. . . 

anyway,
I'm talking to three or four people at once and most of them are leaving the room. . . 
they refuse to understand what I am talking about, or, they just don't care, 
most likely. 

It is like that sometimes.
I put on a blindfold and start talking. And when I wake up
the room is empty. Even the curtains are bored, hanging heavily,

staring at the world outside.
