Not All His Playthings Are Idle

Very late last evening, at eleven fifty-six,
I felt the devil's touch–those frigid, forceful fingertips
All over my ride side, so many, all at once.
If it had gone on any longer I'd have gotten up and run.
Instead, I suffered, wishing I could sue a tactile hallucination
For paying me that kind of unwanted attention.
