Is this who we're supposed to be?
Meaning to pretend
With the best intentions?

Harping on past juxtapositioning
Harvesting the spoiled carcasses
From times long since passed

Accepting invitations
To linger
Listen intently

Fall down
Giggling
Eyes widened by the lights

Dimming whereabouts
Permanent vacations
Ignorant volumes of catalogued indifference

And the finale:
A structured ignorance
A lack of knowledge

A manageable emotional imbalance
A door closing
The accumulated rain water on the sofa

Long wet hair
A shared bottle
Bliss for now
