this picture doesn't describe us well


i've never written about you so directly before.
maybe that's because i couldn't.

today i was walking to the more house
and i realized that maybe we're too similar.
we allow one another to get caught up
in the intricacies of our mind,
the tangles of synapses.

it's fine to dance around thought
and harmonize pragmatism with neurosis
but we don't know how to cut the other one loose.
we just stand there, arms slack at our sides, staring at the other ensnared in a bear trap

with incredible lightness of decision
comes a weighty coat
that makes the arms too heavy to lift.
winter's coming
but i rather be true to our desires
and freeze,
coatless.
