on being right

you say we always fight

i say we don’t

you respond that i’m always wrong

i ask if i agree

does that prove you wrong

*

what we talk about

when we talk about about

is no more than a fight of interest

dependent on what didn’t compound interest

when it was first talked about

*

broken strings

have been known to

play the loudest music

*

the cow utters

a plea to the flowers

to grow

in its shit

and in return

the cow will return

to the flowers

when there is nothing

more to say

but thanks and blessings

*

i don’t want

you to fill my emptiness

i want you to make

me want to empty my fill

into you

*

put it all

on me

for i am putting

it all on you

that you will
