Whenever you entered
the room
I never saw your face
I was always looking
the other way
distracted by other voices
in other rooms
I was bored
and who are you again
that's very nice
I do have to go now
good-bye
|
I was surprised to
see you
a second time
but still not too amused
trying to listen
as you delivered your favorite lines
like speeches from a play
until I finally learned your name
|
In time
you began to call on me
like a friend and like a lover
and just before
I almost lost my heart
I asked you all about love
and you just sat there
with your inside hanging out
like the answer
was in some other room.
