why?
why do you have to have the last word?
any effort to close down shop
to give some space
to really take something in
and i find you pounding on the windows and sneaking through the backdoor
you reload or go private
i am disgusted with all this ego
yours. mine.
let’s just stop.
let’s enjoy the feast in front of us.
stop skipping ahead or into the past to compare it to another meal.
stop leaving what is here now for something that here reminds you of.
this is the ego’s escape route–from being here now.
savor this.
stop filling in all the space that comes after with more.
