understand

that i will always be here
and i know
that there are
hard times
and troubling lies
and fake friends
my defence
i sway
to paralyze
and self revise
despite
the often
singular verbs that you use.

hello and goodbye
why can't you just try?
and pick up your
telephone
yes, no, yes, no
bus stops
now hold more meaning
than before.


for k and c.
