happy perfect yes.

1.
you have been happy
but you are not happy now.
you have been sad
but you are not sad now.

2.
you are fairly certain it does not exist.
you think i am full of rotting butterflies
when i say this and when i say this
you crinkle a little.

3.
sit.
stare.
sleep.
still.

4.
solve.
undefined
piecemeal
limit of infinity.

5.
greener leaves
pinker flowers
pressed in a book
that was never written.

6.
sorry
never did
come
so cheaply.

7.
lightly in the morning you woke up to find
a quiet girl on your arm dressed in
the half of your body
that belonged to her.

8.
yes it's perfect
yes perfect
yes i remember
yesterday was perfect.

9.
the noises he made as he rattled you while you watched him
work away
to stop the dot dot dot
the dot dot dot-ing.

10.
i won't say no
can't say yes.
