you grasp at straws when I start to trickle away like the remnants of a storm on a tenth story window
but you cling out of boredom and not having anyone else devoted to occupy the space
I cycle the rounds of your brown optics, beaten chucks to the pedals, your velocipede behind mine soaring over the bridge over the highway
all that severs me from you is a sense of mutual stubbornness and a center console
as i console you
explaining why you are valid in your mildly extravagant shifts in self sacrifice to goons somewhat emulating mannequins in department stores
brand their necks and let them reciprocate
tell me come tomorrow on a bench how fruitless your endeavors were
leave space in the air for me to scoff and waste the oxygen between us
we’ll both leave sad and un-satiated
you’ll find someone to fill the space i left in your arms only more aggressive in the assertion of usage as opposed to wholehearted reaching
i’ll find a cigarette tucked in the back of my bed side drawer
we’ll both be content with what we found and sleep that night without remorse
