She has a la la story
incompresensible to most
but I read the handouts
and gleaned a little gleam
I had a smart mouth
smarter than me
I talked a tale
on the tail of her talking
We sat serene
in quietudinal complexities
and spoke the very quietest of words
while we danced and cursed
at each other, smiling.
I declared she couldn't scare me
so she ran away screaming
She was caught then,
for parts of her shadowed
sunk into the ground
and will stay with me
until I close my slackjawed mouth.
