Longing for someone
an unfitting feeling
like the math teacher
with a New York accent
teaching in Wisconsin
Waiting
for the baton to go down
so I can stop pretending
and let the anger free
the last note of an opera
Tuning out
like putting earbuds in
everything echoes through
but falls short from me
an incomplete pass
or a fumble
Moving on
infinite and torturous
an unending bootcamp
ending only in tears
and a reinforced spine

Longing for someone
an unfitting feeling
like the math teacher
with a New York accent

Waiting

so I can stop pretending
and let the anger free
the last note of an opera
Tuning out
like putting earbuds in
everything echoes through
but falls short from me
an incomplete pass
or a fumble
Moving on
infinite and torturous
an unending bootcamp
ending only in tears
and a reinforced spine
