you are committed
you tell me
and do not call
and do not write
and do not answer the questions
you say "I will answer any question"
if someone makes a promise
and doesn't keep it
is it a broken promise
or was it a lie all along
and are those any different?
you love me you say
you think of me all the time
and what good does that do me
alone
you loved it best
I know before you tell me
when I was in your bed
to surprise you
and three days after
you commit again
you do not want me
at the dinner with friends
why? I say
you say you love me
too confusing, you say
too confusing
but you are committed
or really, you ought to be
crazy making
and how do the bodhisattvas laugh
and refuse to fight the projection?
oh
they refuse to fight the projection
I have been fighting tooth and claw
retract my claws
hide my teeth
oh
I refuse to fight the projection
sometimes
I laugh
