you could say
you would say
i'm like all of these
decomposing leaves
dark and heavy

you'd go on and on about something
you read somewhere
but you'd be wrong
just like always
and i could drag myself to see your point
fake concern for effect
or i might just ignore it

you could say you would say
there are inbetweens
from anything that seems
ordinary
when all the time that i have spent inside
knocking things i haven't tried

what did i expect to get from that?
keeping tricks behind my back
