UNNECESSARY GRAVITATIONAL ROUGHNESS

.                       (CONVERSATIONAL)

 

I can make jokes about it

I can even craft a script to include every egg,

and I’ll make them crack themselves up.

 

But instead I dance around your eggshells,

I hold up your umbrella in the rain. I remind you

to pick up almond milk for morning coffee.

Every day you remind me a little more of my mother.

 

I’m not saying I hate you.

I’m just saying, someday,

I’ll stop answering the phone.
