I Knock Things I Haven't Tried

you could say

you would say

i'm like all of these

decomposing leaves

dark and heavy

you'd go on and on about something

you read somewhere

but you'd be wrong

just like always

and i could drag myself to see your point

fake concern for effect

or i might just ignore it

you could say you would say

there are inbetweens

from anything that seems

ordinary

when all the time that i have spent inside

knocking things i haven't tried

what did i expect to get from that?

keeping tricks behind my back
