Never did you or I
feel trapped
enclosed, in our closed-door room
Someone walked in on us once
happened before
always a funny burst
from the momentum of ***
to the machine which makes us laugh at ourselves.
But no - we never were unhappy, laughter
was a government quota we were happy to fulfil.
And I loved your friends, and you mine
it didn't take an awful lot of time to end
after that.
