Before consent
we are, all of us,
much like paintings
in a gallery
Some may desire
to move in close
to trace the brushstrokes
with their fingertips
Yet must resist
the temptation
for they risk violating
the integrity and beauty of the work
For the paintings
are not theirs
to do with
as they wish
They must stay desires
and quietly admire
the masterwork
without interjection on their part
