Gentle greetings
Pleasant yet unfamiliar
the awkwardness of this
preoccupied in unbuckling a shoe.
It´s polite to remove them
It also laminates the distance between us.
Forced and strained questions
I receive gratefully.
You´re trying
I do my best to formulate a simple yet ample response.
You nod.
Did your bit.
A flushed cheek
I was caught looking too long at your face
examining the lines and hairs i´d never noticed before.
All our cracks are exposed now.
But i like it that way.
Occasionally we spread concrete filler
by sharing news about our uninteresting lives.
Uninteresting to each other as we never did
nor never will
understand what it is we do to fill time.
And how we came to be
here.
