incommunicado

i wish the words would fail me just for once

keep incommunicado

look for the present tense and come to my senses

just like a despera-a-ado. we talked for twenty minutes

by the time the party ended

you'd forgotten

oh

and i'm still thinking about it five years later

you spoke an unfamiliar dialect

two and a half months over. next think i knew someone had called for the check

and you were gone before we turned it over. i dreamed we were alone all night

in a house made out of beds

and nothing happened. i think about it every time i see you

that's when i try to remember

there were never any terms we could agree to

no no. now can i please have a moment of your time?

before i have the strength to change my mind.
