Elucidating Questions

You don’t know

That’s the joke

This line is mine for sure

Every other line or so

I’ve co-opted to myself

You don’t hear a word

We both don’t hear a thing

Because no words have been said

In this intricate silence

Don’t get hurt now

Okay?

You haven’t even breathed my name

Well I haven’t gone anywhere for a while

This part doesn’t fit here

Like there was something else here before

You’ve always been worth the fight

Or I’d have logged out

Long ago

To Chester’s chagrin

Yet I persist

Stubborn, me

I can’t hush

I have so many words to say

To sing back to you

Ever after

In this solo dance

That was meant to be a pas de deux
