said the sandman
i told you i came here for the registration but you didn't believe me and instead called me names all afternoon until i confessed to you the truth about why i had come but it didn't take you long to misunderstand that too. you snapped a rubber band on your wrist while i told you and i looked at that instead of your furrowed brow and crew cut hair which i told you three years ago i found attractive but now wouldn't dare a glance at out of fear and shame and everything you put me through a year or so after i told you that. i told you everything this evening and i could tell by your rubber band and your welts that there were things in what i said that you hadn't predicted either, and i liked to think that you were angry at yourself for not finding satisfaction in those things. but then you stopped with the rubber band around your red wrist and i stopped the words coming out of my mouth but i was already as red as your wrist. you stood up then and that's when i gazed up to see your beautiful face looking away from me but it didn't give me hope or happiness and i couldn't remember why i had come anymore.
