i can feel it starting

the cracks

giving way

to the widening expanse

it's so like you

to wait to answer 

—out of

sight 

out of mind 

just like 

it's so me 

to wait 

to long 

to live for the hope of it all 

you've got it 

your person 

your thing 

and i can't stomach it 

i'm called 

when you want to go to target 

or when you 

need a meal 

cooked and poured 

while you get 

to keep going 

nothing 

and no one 

holding you back
