FOOL THAT I AM

the moment the words came out
i knew it was over. again.

technology is a calulated bitch
& if you use it too much for business
it becomes your business
& becomes more you than you

to program people
with the right information,
try person-to-person

text mails should never be your option

but it was

& the moment the words came out
i knew it was over. again.

i know things

for instance,
i know you did not call
because you didn't
& you couldn't talk to me
because you didn't

but why does not change what
& when the words came out
i knew it was over. again.

silence speaks volumes
words contain silent consonants & vowels
pronouced aloud, life is spelled with letters
that you could have spoken on your own

but didn't

i am not the district of columbia
& some taxes i will not pay
for where i am at in my life,
i cannot allow safe passage
of ambiguous barges of cargo
neither approved or recommended
by the heart of me

but thank you for saying what you did
& not saying what you should've because
now that the words & silences have come out,
i am almost there...
