Remember, remember
When you dismissed my cantankerous dispositions?
When you assumed my sanity was in remission?
When you presumed (my own) death was my mission?

Just remember, remember
That with my moods came justifications.
That my wits were on hold because of a blood relation.
That with my sorrow came vast maturation.

I have been so good.

You have been good.

Approval for the disapproving,

What more could I ask for, really?

I have told you a thousand times,

Rainbows don't make charity

And high beams mean...

*******.

You don't listen.

I am a child.

Please stop telling me

That I mean the world

When clearly

I mean too much.

He was real.
Made of blood.
Made of bones.

I shut my eyes
to see more clearly.

The illegitimate legitimizing
of a woman.

I tasted salt
and a cold body.

You tasted regret
and a sleeping beauty.

Oh hello!
High.

How aren't you?
Well.

Well?
Still the same.

Why don't you do something about it then?
I am doing nothing but everything.

Hm.
Well then, aloha.

Hi?
Not anymore.
