it was quiet for a while
he was silent for a while
it was a long while
while i was looking for something other way
to say yes to
no no no no no no no no
but i suppose
the quiet silence repeated itself
unnecessarily
until known
*
no one had seen him
though no one was looking
because he was looking
for the no one that was once here
beside him
leading him along
where he hadn’t seen before
*
they say glass half full
others say half empty
i say how can i talk if i’m busy drinking
though i’ll admit to whoever is listening
that i don’t even like water
and haven’t been a big fan
of sand that was burned
and blown with breath
to hold my life
in its reflection
though i can’t see the half of it
evolving eyes from they
who saw too little or too much
no realizing that
reinvention requires two i’s
