tales from an ordinary world

2000-11-11

when I first met you
there was nothing
almost nothing
you wouldn't do
days spent communicating
like bees
like animals
experiences, thoughts
whatever

when I last saw you
an awkward "hello"
I couldn't wait to get away
because I knew
you didn't want to see me
lives best spent apart
it's all over
long gone
now

so stop crying
I know where you've been
you're always dying for someone else's sins.
