you are watching me smile
while i speak down your phone
to your friend who knows me by
the wrong name.

my mouth is twitching
as you tell him quite proudly
that you make dreams come true.

everyone here is staring at me,
& i stare at the floor. i
cannot decipher all events
between saturday & today.

but do you decipher me?
are you persisting?

((or maybe you are a tease.))
