random rants from a disgruntled thirty-something who dreamt of becoming a writer and finds herself in a psychiatric hospital, instead

A proposal
November 11, 2008 - Tuesday
How about if I turn my confident chin
30 degrees in a southernly direction
Then you can pretend you aren't annoyed
by my impulsivity.
And if I call your name in fantasies
instead of nightmares
Then you can pretend you aren't dismayed
by my screams.
How about if every time it snows
and your windshield fogs over,
Then you can pretend it contains a secret message
I never composed.
And if you can't remember the exact timbre of my laugh
or hue of my skin,
Then I can chalk it all up to poor timing
and insecurity.
I know we did not mean it, after all.
