IX

Follow follow every time follow even when I know it'll be ouch ooh ouch with pretty words in between. Like there's asking in the telling like there's knowing in the needing and everything light with the sun shining through and the reflections of us coming into the mess. But always a kind smile always a pretty smile always a knowing smile asking no telling. But who if not that if not known if not seen? Always seeing the furled and unfurled neat and clean like the sweetest thing and sometimes we don't even remember it's a dream and we follow follow every time follow. And the shouts becoming questions and the questions becoming statements and the statements becoming nothing. Is following the asking or the telling or nothing what is nothing who are nothing?
