There was No Test

Author: David Lambourn. Published September 2019 in issue 133 of Sofia.

There was no test
no demon-stration
no propaganda
no threat
no reference to any thing or any one
I was not anaesthetised
not neutered
not overfed
not branded
not pheromone-marked
I was simply invited to be part of you
for a while
and I was.
I was asked to share in being you
for a while
and I did.
I was asked to be your partner in that dance
in which new selves are created
and I was, I was.
