Monosyllables to polysyllabic concerns: A pittance for pity resenting the night All is well, or not. I am the same, though less than gratified; I am your sexlessness and wandering bestfriend Faithfully attent to the lovers’ fight Between the hopes longer than a day, And the stilted, crude truth All wonderfully thumping behind plaster and stone In that I can make my predictions, Perhaps because I’m a part of that love I’ve heard it before and watched it float off into space A repeat has no better outcome, But we’ll always be wondering their fissures And openness, when I abandoned care too late; Where was apathy when I needed it most?
