Alternating between different screens
with the same humdrum of happy faces
These bedroom walls are caving in on me
I’ve been missing so long,
I’m forgotten in everyone’s good graces.
I can’t remember the sun, the trees,
the chatter of regular people
What is ‘regular people’?, I wonder
Remind me please,
a name or a username that wasn’t yours.
Yes! I did notice the rain!
It made me smile for a second there,
that hint of petrich…you’re still unaware
you washed all over me
yet again
yet again, maybe it’s time to reconsider
I’m covered in fifty shades of self-shame
Dear God, I no longer wish to romance
these gallons of incremental physical ache.
Take it away, take it away.
Take it away, take it away.
As I narrate, she quizzes me,
between all the concern and the exclaim
Do you think about him a little
Or Refresh in regular, fragmented breaks?
And I say…
Pray tell me,
how many seconds are there in a day.
