you were a liar, untrustworthy, with poor judgment
you were a coward and no: my mistake
you emerge from the stall with a telephone in one hand
and this is creepier, this is stupid, but what
you were forgetting to unpack there was no point
you were awake and I was dreaming the pieces except to say
you kept forgetting to drive you were the entertainment
you took over the lecture, a reenactment of, for instance
the bad children's table
you were intransigent you were inimitable no you were just
you, you were acting as if
you were in my dream again but then
you emerge you use exclamation points you almost arrive at
you were forgetting I was awake
you waited a year alongside me you waited
you did not think this should count you were willing to accept
you were overheard you were not counting
you fake it easily but I remember you saying, the look in your
eyes
you forgive easily but I remember
I remember it all
