I’m fine.

a forgone response to
your detached query

those two words
stated and un-listened
so many times on.
I’ve considered accents to
create interest

you know

numbness has
its own ad campaign.
arriving random days at 10 pm
in the form of spam

an e-florist of
all the times I sent
flowers

not because I did
wrong things again
I was in love.

an eve of half apple
in trouble

now I stare at the tan
of my steering wheel
in park

loose change
in certainty.
