what’s happening

ball dropt

and we all froze

ball dropt

and it’s rolling on

ball dropt

i can’t keep on

ball dropt 

thru fingers

thru hands

past our gaze

and around our heads

“it’s hard for everyone,”

she says to me

as if my story is un-unique

as if it’s just another leaf on the tree

as if it’s just another wrinkle on his forehead

as if 

“i’m sorry”

i hadn’t said

ball dropt

bye bp
