A lost intertia
while looking for lessons
sat on the subway
scrolling and obsessing
got in the habit
of letting your absence
become the fixed point,
bad news when i’m laughing
but you don’t seem to think about it
so i don’t need to think about it
silly to feel angry anymore
woke up on my birthday
to cash in my account
lucky and embarrassed
i felt the ice thaw out and knew that
i needed to talked about it
yes i needed to talk about it
silly to feel angry anymore
there’s not much to wager
in forgiving a stranger
i can’t pretend to know you anymore
