008




I put away dad's guitar and stopped working on your present. 
I could write a different song now, but for me. 

Is this how it goes? I don't remember. 
My fat, unused fingers are fumbling over the keys. 

Your aphorisms are tired, and now you lump me in with the rest. 
Sure. 

It's all still there. 
I still laugh at all the phantom jokes that you make. 

I know you too well, 
and you don't know me.
