Letters to the Ordinary

Good Morning,

 

Is it strange for you?

Is it strange to forget or is it the usual everyday story

There's clamor outside and I need to shed your memory

I am watching as the ties that never bound

lie threadbare, swept aside into a darker place not meant for prisoners

It is strange for me.

Very strange to be amongst the forgotten and re-arranged

Is that all it is, or was this, this strange little drive through the unknown

more than i wished, desired or paid for with the all the change i had

Are you pockets empty, were you the thief or I ?

 

Shall we be civilized now, will you play at the charming masquerade

and i at the debutante ball

shall we feign a friendly nonchalance, real as the time goes by

 

It's just that, well you see

I can't quite understand which is true

that you were worth the silence, or not at all.

 

Sincerely,

me
