• In a brief moment
    Anonymity is lost
    Identify with she who was lost to you
    But in another moment, the feelings gone
    Don't you get it?
    Don't you know?
    The experiences you lose
    The experiences you lost
    Will just turn to regrets as you age
    Lose the innocence
    You'll just get hurt
    The old jokes
    No one thinks it's funny
    It never was
    Talk loudly on the phone
    Yet yell when other overhear
    I can hear you
    I can
    Belittle, begrudge, bemoan
    Without thought for the ones standing in the eaves
    In the doorway
    Empty windows
    Curtains shiver and whisper
    Empty wind hollowing through
    Quiet, dim light
    Shades, blinds, block out directness
    Dirty-clean floors
    Sleepers
    Drinkers
    Escapees
    Maybe I didn't mean it?
    Maybe it's too late now
    Calls in the middle of the day
    I'm gone, can't be reached
    The one point of contact
    Is when I'm incapable of answering
    Contact back
    Put on your goddamn shoes
    Obstinate for once
    You need a change of pace
    Bedroom wars
    Shouting matches
    What the 80's is to the 90's
    Flashy ex-somethings
    Take your books
    Don't leave your things
    You inspire bitter jokes
    That deep inside, we realize are more sad than funny
    But we laugh anyways
    Oh yes, we laugh.
