All right??

[art Laramie Sasseville]

All right?

Yeah yeah I am "all right"
Put aside
as you feel like the only one who aches

No worries!
Just depleted and exhausted from my emotions confusedly struggling with the hot and cold surrounding you

Yeah I am all right
as you grasp back for me
Is this a joke?
A game?
Spiral it all downward
And push it all away
Only to respond later -
"Oh are you all right?"
"Oh I am feeling better"
"Oh I miss your company"
"Oh just making sure you are all right"

Right. Okay.
What are words anymore but manipulations?
These distortions arise fresh to maim and bloody perception
And yet I am attached still

And so this ache
Feeling failure,
insecurity,
uncertainty,
desperation

So yeah yeah I am all right!

Self critical towards this fool who rushed in,
still believing in the connection, the warmth of humanity...
Now met with rejection, disappointment.

I will crawl around down here
looking for answers as to whether there is much of a point in this silly game of love.

Ha just gotta shake it off right?
Just let it go.

Yeah yeah sure I am all right...
