i usurp u
i find it interesting
that
i feel dumb
when
i’m around you/
just as smart as
little fruit flies
“so predictable;
always after the same thing.”
i find it interesting
that
i feel ugly/
only as pretty as
the reflection
that you caught in my face.
it’s also interesting that
once i voiced this
he went silent
there were words, but
they were empty
and
i knew i had won
:-)
