Offered hands delayed
Restricted communication
Camouflage fitted and displayed
Roles created and played
You go first so I can leave too
Say you’ll be back I don’t believe you
Why wait to see what you’ll do
Low heat crockpot love are your favorite shoes
Slipped on and convenient.
*
So we’ll pretend
All is well
I’ve told you
This smells
Raw sewage
You say it’s fine
I feel ignorant
Left behind
So you go first then I can leave
Mask off as you walk away
You say you’ll be back soon
I might not be here but take your time
I might not be here but you have other things on your mind
*
Take your obligations and go.
