[baranek]

You write letters you'll never send.
And you never fail,
even in your holiest of holies,
even in your most private
and sincere
and heartfelt moments,
to condescend.

(how can you be sorry for something
you can't stop doing?)

fingers point
names are called
yet never to the face of the truth.

words choked on
long forgotten
but you are the one who insists on
keeping them alive.

i have much greater regrets
than you.
i have much happier memories
than you.
reconciling.
thrown away.
you live with it.

learn to take a friendly joke.
