Because
I'm scared
Because
looking, trying to live
Because
a crash course
Because
that would have been too easy
Because
leave me alone, closer
to everyone's bedrooms
Because
he said really? and I said yes
Because
reflection obsessed in a quaint reversal
Because
a table under a tree, step back
Because
the bus was three minutes early
Because
this hesitation
Because
I forgot to tell you to pretend
Because
the surprising solidity
Are
you sure it is this painting in which
you would reside?
