not a pretty picture. not a good. not a bad. picture. but an argument.

a witness between neighbours

do i have a beautiful mind, do i, do i?
you, you have a beautiful mind. 
your back curves.
you're four foot six. 
you're shrinking.
you pass me the plate
already cleaned.
apple bake.
where did it go?
did you eat it already?
does it wait for you?
will you watch it like a building
waiting for a door to open?
i touch your back. 
you go home alone.
once you lived in this house.
once you walked this kitchen,
you loved in these beds,
you shit in this toilet.
and now i send you away.
you're tiny.
you're a bird of a woman.
you are going back towards birth.
you're just passing through death first.
do i have a beautiful mind, do i, do i?
you, you have a beautiful mind.
