Subject: ...Home Fries...


so we sat at supper
in early afternoon
ready to end our day.
and i tried my worst
to hide my face
behind my five fingers.
"someone once told me i have an old soul,"
i tell you, as you brush it off -
your face tells me
you have every reason to believe
i'm lying.
and the simplicity of this
became a secret
when we weren't looking.
"and someday your body'll catch up,"
you reply back -
but i know the truth :
you'll be here.
there's no getting rid of you.
you try making me comfortable
by contorting my view of comfort,
as the clock strikes two
and the sun's still up.
our chairs creak with movement
and our throats crack with silence
as we stay,
ready to end our day.
no two people were as independent
from the thought of being lonely
as we are
when we stare at supper together
at two.
