Christopher
For months I did her thing
and it was my thing too,
Maybe not as much,
but I believed in it too
Because even before I met her
I thought the world was dumb.
Why can’t she see that there’s more
than one way to look for meaning?
Annabelle thinks words
can change the world
And maybe she’s right,
but does she know
It took only three minutes to create
all the matter there has ever been?
That it took less than a second
for gravity to appear?
That we can still hear the buzz
of cosmic radiation, 90 billion trillion miles away?
I think if people knew
these bigger things
They’d realize it’s crazy
to kill yourself for fashion.
That’s all I was trying to tell her
but she shut me out
Like my opinion wasn’t
as important as hers.
When she turned her face away
from my kiss, it made me feel heavy,
Like a field of gravity
had invaded my limbs.
