Small Talk

You sure do ask me

a lot of things

Like why do I look

like I don't know

where to be

I answer

Maybe I don't

And you shrug and

look away

You ask if I've ever

been in darkness so

deep I couldn't see

I answer

Yes I have

And you think of

something else to ask

Like if I've ever

Lived somewhere haunted

I answer

With ghost stories and

you tell me yours

And we go on and on

with our little talks

And I go on quietly

wondering

What you're looking for

And what you've found
