bargain.

with every sound you lower the price
of these words
I
you, yes you, you are something, quite something
AM
are, to be, to have been and to always be, be
can you be? can you really be?
SO
SOSO
in the middle? in the middle of good and bad
or just in the middle of everything
unfinished
SOS
calling for help? calling for me? calling for attention?
another one just one just
one more time
oh sorry
the price has dropped
on SORRY.

then i say but don't say
then i wish but don't wish
if i can't cut off your tongue
then please
can you cut off my ears?
