Sometimes
I just want to tell you
hold me for a second.
That’s all.
I need another body
to tell me
where mine is.
I know how that sounds.
So I fix my hair.
Keep talking.
Ask you something
about your day.
You answer.
I nod
in all the right places.

I left my keys
in the lock
all night
then spent the morning
looking for them.
Are you dissociating
like me
or have we all
started leaving
before we go?
