Foreign hands
Dark lights
I think of you
And open my eyes

Sneaking into your workplace
Laughing on a staircase at 2 AM
Watching drag together
Brushing knees inside a train

Do you think of me like I think of you
Do you think of me at all?
A video with no end
A microphone with no voice

Back-to-back dates
I chew on my pencil
Making out in a garden
Chagrin, what a bargain

Why do some get along, while others are strangers?
Why do those who get along become strangers?
How come one makes me yawn,
While another builds a shelter?
Oh, to read your mind, and understand your rancour

If I could crack the code
There would be no more disillusion
Privy to my species
Who is this homo sapiens

Does it kill you that I’m out there
Did you plan to disappear?
You forgot, but I didn’t
Time never heals

On the same planet
In a different galaxy
A parallel universe
Without Wi-Fi or electricity
A kiss at a club
A hot, hot spring
An abandoned theme park
I’ll keep imagining
