Play.
Play with me.
Play without me.
Play against me.
Play defensively.
Play. Dumb.
I'm dumb.
Because I played dumb.
Not the false depiction,
Nor is it an intelligent novel.
Bravo, brass lass.
Bravos.
Has great food.
I shared talks of food with you.
Food for me.
Was you.
I hadn't eaten in years.
So, if I seemed deranged.
Starvation, can change a man.
Exploring inside your mind,was the
oasis in the heat.
The water drank from days dehydration.
Salty.
Lips cracked from excessive cursing.
Anger, I dropped that bag years ago.
No, this is.
Dry mouth.
You were water.
But now you're not here.
I wonder if you ever were.
You're words were. Weren't.
You're actions, only whispered.
But the lure was pretty enough to follow into death.
I am the only blind fish in this pond.
I can smell the filth, heighten.
I've been in so long, I'm sure I stink too.
Bathe.
Today I bathe in cold air.
I've never had a coat.
Awoken from my dream.
Entitled.
Nothing.
I've never played that game.
A game of nothing.
Play nothing.
You played my nothing.
Like everyone else.
So much playing.
Praying.
Play.
Along.
