a nervous đľđ´đŹ of the lips
a little drop of sweat bulging at the neck
an eyelid flickering way too much
a mind that wonât change
a pillow that reeks of salt
a photograph of a distant memory
a fly buzzing around the plasma tube light
a buzz that wonât go away
a switch that wonât turn off
a stain that wonât dust off
a walk thatâs unusual for the age
a kid who refuses to play
itâs the little things that give you away
