FOOL THAT I AM

1.
i've fallen in love several times before
but this time, it would be different

so we believed

probably still do,
but i just got over
the noises the house
makes all on it's own

it's much more louder now

2.
i get over the silence
& fill it with sights & sounds
i remember all my own

sometimes, i dance

3.
now, i ascend stairs &
deposit items & garments
& i sit & watch television
for a change.

4.
i write...write
