i could meld with you
and right now
i am enjoying
simply being

you notice me
i think
think me a burden
ask your friend to sit me on the couch
it's all so far away
but i am torn from you
just the same
given time to sober up
"keep an eye on her for me, will you?"
and melding with the couch
i begin to grimace
as it occurs to me
that i've always thought you were a jerk
I feel dirty
