Trying to make puddles,
Ripples that never go anywhere.

Their sound getting to me
A second before they do.

Oblivious to me
Wondering where they’re going,
And why.

Hoping they’re not worried about the middle east.

Singing naïve love songs,
Wondering if they’re being honest.

I don’t see that often.

Like an idiot.
It lets me pretend he’s not the asshole
I know that he is.

It helps me get there, too.

That touches them somehow.

I might not learn.

For abusing their power.

Because they’ll live longer.

Because it shows there’s still love.

So they can look at each other.

Because they can somehow.

Because they can face another day.

In puddle that weren’t there before.
