on the inherent abiguity of communication
it's not sane you lie together
it's not the context
it's the lack of

context

was always the most troubling part of communicating

ambiguity
I Am Big Guilty

it's not the tone of your voice
it's the tone of the moments
in between what you say

It's not that those moments say a lot
It's that they don't say anything at all
over and over

and overhead i felt you watching me
i didn't look up
wouldn't reckon with
a force to be reckoned with

it's that everything we say
issimultaneously interpreted in every way

blinking my eyes to make sure that you aren't the only thing i can see

maybe i should be left alone
with you
maybe we should pull ourselves together
and split
