I’m not very good at shaking hands
I just kind of put my hand out there
and well
try to match the shake of the other.
I guess I sort of know what that
says about my character, but
I’m cool with that, you know.
Sure I told him
without even saying a word — the courtesy
hug thereafter well, that’s a whole other story.
I try to hang loose
but always end up
twisted, like a
damp dish towel.
Stained and tattered.
Are we really back here again?
Rinse and repeat.
Haven’t you learned anything yet?
Rinse and repeat.
I bet you like it this way, don’t you?
It’s quieter here…shh!
With voices in your head? You’re too easy.
It’s alright if you sweat, just
don’t let them see you turn.
Are we really back here again?
Metaphorically speaking,
we never actually left.
Places just become new places.
People get replaced by other people.
Lies become fiction.
Truth becomes fantasy.
Like a damp dish towel,
twisting facts
until
they hang loose.
Life.
A series of sparks,
on a windy,
windy,
day.
