twenty-two.

I ask, "does that make sense?" and
her blank look
belies the faltering,
"yes, maybe." She means to say,
"no, not even a little,
this question is an inland sea
and I'm sitting
cross-legged on the shore
with a teacup,
holding all the
bits I can comprehend in my hands
and considering drowning
myself in the rest."
